Aircraft Flying Overhead [OTT]

[michael]

Not strictly linked to LBA, but I wondered if anyone else had noticed several B777's going into DTV lately on an evening. According to flightradar tonights is EuroAtlantic's B777 200 ER CS-TFM. Earlier in the week Omni air internationals B777 N918AX also went in to DTV, appearing to come from Oxfordshire, maybe Brize Norton?? So maybe troop movements?

Update; can confirm that it is Brize Norton where the CS-TFM has landed at approx midnight, anyone any ideas?

They are trooping flights to Catterick garrison.

thanks for that LUFC Pete, makes alot of sense. Interesting that it's a T7 being used but i suppose if there's nothing else there at DTV then there'll be plenty of room!

Just opening my front door yesterday afternoon as a very noisy C130 came over going westbound at around 15,000ft. Always nice to hear.

A 4 engined a/c has just flown over Leeds at over 30,000ft. It wasn't a 747, 340 or 380. It also didn't show up on FR24. I assume it was military. Anyone know what it was?

A French Air Force a310 has just flown over Leeds at just under 20,000ft.

Didn't see it. It's a bit misty up here.

What a time for a fire drill at work this morning!!

2 Austrian 767's came over + a French Air Force A310 F-RADA going South.

Not an aircraft, but a hot-air balloon is currently passing over Leeds.

2 Air France A380s just flew over LBA heading north. One to LA and one to Washington!

Two Air France a380's have just flown over Leeds mere minutes apart, both from Paris, the first heading to Washington DC, the second to LA.

The Pole you posted yours just as I was composing mine!

And BA and Virgin STILL aren't using them. At this rate India and Pakistan will have them before we do :sad:

 

[LBA787]

You'll see them sooner than you think. The first three BA A380s will be delivered in July, September and November 2013. There are even some pictures on the net of the first a/c at TLS.

As for Virgin possible 2015 but who knows....

I was outside washing the car when the A380's flew directly overhead Cookridge. Great view of them in a cloudless sky.

Lovely clear skies this morning, so great for spotting overheads. Doesn't get much better than the Volga-Dnepr IL76 RA-76503 that flew over northbound at around 08:30 this morning after departing EMA.

The Trade Air F100 9A-BTE yesterday lunchtime was nice to see as well.

I love this thread , would be great to see more reports.
Please don't rely on me though , I haven't got a clue where to start but more than happy to watch.

 

[adam]

are all overhead flights on flightradar as ive got it on my phone and it doesnt always show whats overhead

 

[Bigman]

FR24 is good to a point. It shows KLM F70's but not ER195's. No rubber bands either. Just as well I was outside the office waiting to see the KLM ER195 come in yesterday morning.

Would be nice to see anything through this cloud today.

Much more exciting when our members post photos.

On a night for several years, depending on what time I go to bed and if the weather and traffic are quiet, I hear a prop between 10-10.30. I have spotted it once and it was travelling North to South, but I have never been able to pick this up on Flight Radar 24, is it a mail flight? Anyone know?
