S-58T, probably with Midwest Helicopters from its orange and white scheme.  No photo; heard something odd, rushed to door, exclaimed in surprise (and promptly reassured wife it was just a surprise and not something dangerous.)  I see them in town every year or so to lift HVAC equipment, etc.

Not over my house, but US 206 this morning a cropduster, probably an Ag Cat, on a pre-dawn dusting patrol.  It pulled me out of my musings on the other drivers, and all I caught was a left banking belly silhouette framed between the trees

I see those guys around Chicago once in a while. They are fun to watch!

Four low wing monoplanes in a tight diamond formation.  I was cleaning my teeth and only saw them heading away.
Sounded like turbines so probly RAAF PC21s doing ANZAC day flypasts.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Dassault Falcon 20 of Draken International (ex Cobham and FRA). Two took off from Teeside airport (I'm staying nearby for an exam I have tomorrow) followed  by an Aero L-159 Alca. The first Falcon prepared me, got tge second but the L-159 turned in the opposite direction and I couldn't get a photo.

Flight Radar has them playing with three each of the Falcon and L-159's total and a pair of Typhoons.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Best of luck with the exam Mossie  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A few minutes ago, an A400M  at about 500 feet.

Moments ago, another A400M at about 600 feet,  with a pair of Typhoons weaving around  above it at about  1200 feet.

Ooooh, interesting. Not often you see that sort of 'combined ops'.
