Just going over cypress or looks like it.
You don't often see Russian military or I don't
Hmm, it flew over Turkey. Considering they have implemented a blockade of military shipping in the Bosphorus I'm surprised they are allowing Russian military flights in their airspace.
Ah I see. Destination Syria, so figures.
Picking up freedom fighters then 😞
B52's just popped up, had their trackers turned off:

The war feels just a little bit closer when I hear some unusual aircraft hum past, look it up on flightradar and inevitably it's a military one heading/returning to the Ukrainian border or has been around there looping and loitering around.
I was awoken by a bloody Chinook over Stroud at around 3am this morning, I guess it was heading to Fairford. A bit early in the day!
Anyone?
At the airport so assume fire engine or similar.
Super Galaxy just passed overhead - looks like they forgot to switch the gas off or something!

USAF tanker returning to Mildenhall from northern Norway https://www.flightradar24.com/LAGR341/2b37ede1
Apache was out playing above Dent Station in the Dales today:
Currently seeing a C-32B heading across the Atlantic from apparently Belfast - investigation shows it’s quite a secretive aircraft…
ID NORA78.
From ADS and U2 mode.
Saw 4 x F35 on the M6 at Tebay yesterday and thne 4 x Apaches at Ribblehead.
Air Force One currently on way to have a nosey at Russia ;0)

That must be the closest it's ever got to a live war zone that is using proper air attack systems.
Poland bound?
It's taken a strange route to Poland. I wonder if it's doing a round trip on NATO countries?
Is that the Young59 Nighthawk?
It was at Mildenhall earlier on the ground. Charge ID if Biden gets aboard apparently.
A friend of mine earlier…😁

Interesting circular flight path, must be doing some sort of calibration with RAF Fairford.

Looks like the restricted airspace over the SPTA got in the way.
B52 over Slovakia.

Oh and one over Romania too.

I spent Thursday and Friday at each end of Lossiemouth runway.
The Eurofighters are burning a fair old chunk of fuel and the Poseidon doing circuit and bumps. At one point, while walking with a group of young children, we had the 'fun' of the heat and jet fuel smell as a Eurofighter lit up at the end of the runway for a steep take off, only about 500m away....
They are busy folks up there.
Eurofighter having fun in the hills around Shropshire

That was indeed a calibration flight into Fairford. Was quite a nice chap.
Hmm not a normal playground, I’d imagine some pissed off farmers if it was quite low

About to get loud over Norfolk
Tornado!
They have kept a handful for dropping nuclear weapons.
Cant have them on Eurofighters or something. They have now ordered some F-35s to take over the role.
Not seen any blackhawks close to the border before..
They've been around since February. Check the "History" in the aircraft details.
Any idea what just flew over East Lothian towards Edinburgh and I assume over Scotland to the atlantic? Big multi engined jet at 20,000ft plus escorted by at least 5 fighters and another smaller multi engined jet?
I've seen similar before, I think it's a Stratotanker refuelling plane topping up the fighters.
I just saw them fly overhead and came online to check the websites, but nothing is showing up.
Should be near Perth by now.
Stratotanker popped up again about 5 minutes ago, now about to cross the Minches. Not seen them so clearly over here before, clearly audible and huge contrails.
3 Merlins just flew past my house but interestingly only 1 pops up on the flight tracker

Interesting Italian Gulfstream G550 doing 8’s around Ludbin at the moment.

That seems to be fairly normal. only the lead will switch it on.
two apache a couple of weeks back, clearly drawing a cock and balls... but only one side of the shaft shows on flightradar 🙁
Pair of C-130s out of Brize Norton, did a loop over the sea south of Edinburgh.

These have been recorded flying into Serbia, six Chinese Y-20 military transport aircraft, worth keeping an eye open for more flights.
