Aircraft Flying Overhead [OTT]

[White Heather]

It flew over cookridge and Bramhope so was in Leeds airspace whether open or not 😍

Yes but not under the control of LBA. Had LBA been open they could have told it to do one, so as not to disturb the naysayers as it silently drifted overhead.

Frankly I'm annoyed about this, because it must have passed right over the back of my house . I missed it because it didn't make enough noise!

If they who shall not be named did own a gas balloon a very large pin would come in very handy.

Anyone know what the yellow P68 is that's been up and down WY for the last however long? Guess it's an Ordnance Survey aircraft looking at it's routing?

Went for a drink in Haworth yesterday afternoon and as we were returning home circa 1930 there were 3 USAF CV22 Ospreys flew over in formation. Quite a sight. They were routing from Leuchars to I believe Fairford although their overall routing did look a little convoluted according to FR24.

We get some real treats over in Calderdale, coming down the valley from Haworth / Oxenhope way towards Wainstalls and Halifax.
Quite often you can see A400ms, occasionally C17s below in the valley then banking towards Hebden Bridge or Ripponden

A propliner flew overhead at 1742 local. Probably a Dash 8 or ATR72. Heading east at what I expect was cruise altitude. Identity unknown!

Anyone know the reg of the PC6 that is out surveying this afternoon? Up and down between Stockbridge and Silsden roughly

@EX9 thank you - that's what I thought it might be, just needed 100% clarification

We have had some really good stuff over this week including a USAF C-5 Galaxy Kuwait C-17, Belgian A400 and an Azerbaijan A340-600.

There was one yesterday C 17 between 5 and 6 don't think it was one on your list, but could be wrong. Something lift in title

The C-17 you refer to on the 22Sep was 02 (ex 08-0002) operated by Strategic Airlift Capability Heavy Airlift Wing based at Papa in Poland

Anyone know what has just passed overhead LBA, sounded like a prop but nothing on FR?
