Heard something big approaching. Looks like an An-124 to me.

Looks like an An-124 to me too. Great pic.  :thumbsup:

I agree!
Wish we could make out the number under the wing. I'm sure that would tell.

An RAF A400 Atlas, moments ago.   Odd, I'd have expected them all to have knocked off for the weekend by now.

Driving cross-country from the Bristol area toward Oxford I was suitably astonished to see a B-1B fly across the road at around 1500 ft, make a left 180 deg turn and come back directly o'head!

Operating from Fairford presumably, it was surprisingly quiet, every other time I've seen one has been in full 'display mode' with burners on max!

Heading into work this morning through the wilds of the Pine Barrens, a pair of cropdusters doing what looked like familiarization runs over one of the cranberry farms along County Route 563.

We are staying at our friends house for the weekend and yesterday we saw two F-35s low level flying over the neighborhood. Probably doing a 4th of July fly over. Awesome! No time for a picture. I couldn't tell if it was AF, Navy or Marines.

not over my house, but at the Zeebrugges Naval base last saturday.

with a visiting Turkish Navy S-70B Seahawk onboard a corvette and a demo from a Belgian NH90-NFH.
there was also a flyover by a Spitfire Mk.XVI, but i have no photo's of it as it was too far away.
