Seen Over Your House Today

Looks to me like they just slapped RAF titles on the current USAF scheme. The engine covers look nice tho !

Prezackly, a retro scheme for an RC-135 would be bare-metal/silver paint/corrogard. 

[Captain Canada]

Woah ! What the heck is that thing ? And it's got a fifth engine ? Or is that a tire warmer ?

[darthspud]

RATO pack on the inboard pylon?
or some sort of buddy refuelling pylon?

[Hobbes]

Could be a cooling radiator for the electronics.

I think it's a generator jet engine for increased electronics load.

[Captain Canada]

Generator makes sense !

Seen flying over Gosforth yesterday - Bell 222.  I'm sure it was anyway.

Just looked out the window at the fading day and saw this.
An increasingly rare breed, a C-5 Galaxy.
Grabbed the camera and took these two shots. In the first you can tell it is a C-5, the second just looks better as you can see the moon as well.

Interesting how things can appear to different observers...

[zenrat]

That ought to get the chemtrails conspiracy nuts going!

[Captain Canada]

Saw two PC-12s in short order, heading Stateside on a different course than most a/c. Looked gray. Sounded like they may have taken off from Sarnia. Maybe doing Customs stuff ?

[Captain Canada]

Got buzzed by the Pipeline patrol out in the field today....a white w/ red trimmed Cessna. He saw us waving and did a circle around the rig and flew off.....pretty cool. I'll try and get a few snaps tomorrow.

I've seen a Robinson 44 whirr over central London a few times this weekend. You might think there's nothing unusual about that but this one has floats for landing gear.

Can't think where it might be landing, must be somewhere wet?
