Another USAF C17 just went over to land at Newquay- this one was from Mildenhall.

This one didn’t show up on Flighaware but did show on ADS-BExchange.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

I can't wait to hear the roar as planes fly over my house every 5-10 minutes, rather than the 5-10 a day ATM.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

Just to get in on the act ... I can hear a jet at high altitude right now, but it’s not showing up on my flight tracker app. Typically, traffic crossing the North Atlantic passes up to 30 miles to the west of me, altitude over 30k ft. This sounds like that. It’s too cloudy to spot a vapour trail.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

Had the oppportunity to explore round one of British Airways recently retired 747's.
This one had been repainted in the classic Landor livery back in 2019.


Beautiful aircraft.

Austrian Airlines BOEING 767-300 flight from Vienna had to circle until the fog cleared. It was on it's way to the great hangar in the sky.

1500ft over our home!
