I was down at Cramond flying my kite for 3 hours this morning and didnt see a single aeroplane.
Strange.
You're usually flying a kite on here....
Kite must have shown up on the Turnhouse radar: All flights cancelled as a precaution! 😀
I was really nice and peaceful without aircraft noise.
Maybe using the older runway due to prevailing winds?
Maybe landing from the west because of the wind direction? Normally it is nose to tail EasyJet over Cramond. That would put me off living in Cramond - I couldn't be bothered replacing the missing roof tiles every week.
EDIT:- quick fingers Colin strikes again.
Winds were North Westerly and 12 knots so nowt to stop them using the main runway. The only change they normally have due to wind conditions is approaching from the west or the east. Never heard of them using the other runway.
Well the RAF are having a great time in the Tweed Valley today. How low can you go, and all that.

Pedant alert. Prevailing winds never change. Day to day weather changes all the time.

Aye - but you're just a recent in-comer.
Druidh. In the last 9 years I lived in Edinburgh for 6 of them.
I rest my case (resident for 50 out of 52 years)
You don't live in Edinburgh tho Druidh - you live in the 'burbs! Infact its note even the 'burbs really - its a satelite / dormitory town Miles away from the city!

At 52yrs old you'll need to rest more than your case. 😛
Hang on until I check my Council Tax.....
... says Edinburgh 
You have been paying Edinburgh council tax? YOu have been had!

What a strange way of saying you've lived in Edinburgh for 6 years.
bigyinn - I tried to make it as nonsensical and grammatically incorrect as I could.

I think so too. I mean, it's not like we need sewage services. We just flush it all into the Water of Leith and it ends up at your place...
Not good enough,correctly punctuated and appropriate capitalisation. You could have at least added some random capitals and spelt things wrongly. You'll only make yourself get noticed on here! 😆
Ta for that. It does help the roses grow
Yes.
Seems you had psychic powers SbZ. Were you responsible for spreading chaos powder around Edinburgh airport today?
Yes. Wish it was closed more often as it truly was peaceful with no planes. There wasnt even anything flying over either. Strange.
What not even a kite?
It was closed. I too wish it was closed more often. I might get a lie in at the weekends then!
Not when I first got there no.
Went flying the kite today again. Had great fun dive bombing dogs.
