Over my house today? Everybody and their mother!  :o

Got up to a CAVU sky (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited.....) courtesy of the high pressure zone the UK is in just now, with frost all over the ground and the sky full of contrails. You can't see them all clearly in this small print but there were TEN aircraft in view at the time. Of course it helps being right across the river from a major airway intersection, but the traffic is rarely quite so obvious as this.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Oddly enough this past weekend I happened to have 9 V-22 Ospreys fly over my house. (!) One of the coolest experiences I've had in a while.

Chemtrails ! We worked with a guy the other day, and he was adamant that the a/c flying over head weren't commercial airliners.....I mildly protested, but otherwise acted dumb.

Eh? From around 30000 ft below he should have been able to SEE they were airliners! His aircraft recognition skills need a serious top-up, after doing it for years I can make a pretty good stab at the type just by looking at the trail.

Spotted this passing my office window yesterday. B-737NG Not sure of its internal configuration, whether airliner or BBJ.

Its not the workbench that makes the model, it is the modeler at the workbench.

that look more like a bbj than any airliner

Was his tinfoil hat in his back pocket?  :wacko:

BBJ, unless the FAA (who has a couple unmarked Boeings at KACY) was running shuttle service out your way.

Just one question - What's wrong with tin foil hats????
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

They don't keep your head warm in this cold weather!  Better to wear a knitted woolly  or even a Russian style hat.

Had two Ospreys on final into KBFL today, just stepped out of my office to see them beginning to rotate the nacelles for landing. Made a bit of a racket, thought it was the Hind from the NTC in Barstow making a visit.

That's the problem. This guys says they are disguised as airliners !  :banghead:

Nowt wrong with tinfoil hats either !

Very easy to stomp on these peoples' arguments. Just tell them to go and spend half an hour researching logistics. ;D
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Perfect  blue skies, so lots of transatlantic stuff at altitude.  Lower down, apart from the air ambulance bringing in another bent and broken mountaineer  or a damaged car driver, an elderly Reims Cessna 172 doing jollies over the city  from the local airport  .   Noisy little blighter!

It would help if the registration could be made out clearly.
This is a good site to use for US registered aircraft.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!
