Some great shots in there thanks. Love the Tornados in the circuit. Always look mean from that angle.

There goes that pipeline patrol Cessna again.....nit the one I'm looking for tho, it has red tips etc. This one has a Yank reg.

I was gardening and saw this guy fly by. Looked like an L-19or Sentinel or what-have-you. It had a CDN civil reg under one wing and what looked like a French roundel under the other. As he banked away it looked to be a nice blue, or even two blues, kinda like a WWII USN bird. By the time I ran in and got the camera he was too far and I only had the small lens anyway....

Last but not least I saw these three today. I think maybe the aforementioned one was/ or is a part of this gang.

I believe they are practicing for the rededication ceremony for the Sabre tomorrow.

Sikorsky S-92 again:

I was waiting for my bus the morning close to Hull City Centre when I heard a row. It was going slow enough to get my phone camera out. Judging on where I was, I assume it was heading in to Hull Royal Infirmary.

Nice shot.

Ta! I was so busy getting the shot I nearly failed to see the bus coming up the road!

Two of those L-19s or what have you flew over the rig today. They were in a perfect formation and of course, my camera was at home.

One was that silver one with the US markings and the other I couldn't tell. I'm guessing the blue one. It was cloudy with low light....camera is coming with me tomorrow

OK not over my house, but at work (that's at YYC)

While I was on my hard-point, right on the international concourse apron, I heard an unusual engine sound so looked quickly around and saw one of these taking off, but I couldn't tell which one.

Then a couple of hours later, this took off

I'm fairly sure it was this one too.

Couple of nice spots there Robert !

I was lucky enough to see a turbo Dak doing circuits in Edmonton a few years back. Sounded weird !

There was a nice treat to look at today, just after I left work yesterday, the RAF came to town. So for most of the morning I was looking at C-17 (ZZ175) as it was parked on the adjoining apron. And off just out of view but the fin was showing, was a Voyager so can't tell you which aircraft it was. Then after an Air Canada 767 pulled right up to where I was stationed (like 50 feet away) I missed the two taxiing away for take-off.

Captain Canada · June 05, 2015, 06:10:56 PM

Cool. You're seeing all the cool stuff !

I wonder what the RAF were doing way out West???

New batch of troops being deployed at CFB Suffield I expect Kit, it's a major Brit Army training facility ( the base' training area has about the same square kilometers as Dorset and Devon put together) I have read somewhere that the UK Government traded a bunch of submarines in exchange for a few years lease of the base, don't know how true that is but Canada got a bunch of submarines a while ago (duff ones I might add, one caught fire on the way over here and all the others have been in dry dock having all the problems fixed)
