So what aircraft do you see over you're house?

[cableguy]

I live right in between JFK and La Guardia, so i see many aircrafts, cant even name them all.

[Ivan]

I live north of Schiphol, the SPY Vor is a few km south of where i live.

What i've seen coming over my house apart from the inbound Schiphol traffic:
- A bunch of F-16's usually enroute to Lelystad and the training ranges
- Apache, Cougar and Chinook helo's
- The Police helo... either from De Kooy or Schiphol
- ANWB Emergency helo... usually a bad accident has happened when these fly around
- Cessnas in the weekend
- Navy helo, don't know which one

[quote]Mr. Bones, I hope you still read this thread. A couple of years ago ( about 12) I stayed in the east of Belgium ( the Ardennes - you know Battle of the Bulge). There I witnessed a training excersize, between what looked like an F-14 tomcat and another fighter, could have been a F-16.

But the Tomcat I'am quite sure off. I certainlty saw a double tail and it was kinda white looking. They made a series of narrow turns and some loops. it was an awsome sight, acompagnied by a thundering sound.

Could this have been a Tomcat? Did the Americans ever train in Belgian airspace? Quite sure it wasn't an Iranian one...

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

lets see,
A319's
A320's
A330's
747's
777's
etc etc

this is so because the approach pattern is above my house.

[beefhole]

Check this out-my school/home is right under the approach for runway 17 at KPHL, where all the regional jets/props land, and even the occasional 737. But that's not the cool part-

My school's baseball field is a designated LZ for medivac choppers. Maybe four-five times a year they'll set down, cause a commotion (let us tell stupid subs "the librarian fell and hit her head" haha subs are so stupid), then take off again. But that's not the cool part-

I know the guys that land here. The PennStar chopper is a freelance medivac that works for no one in particular, just takes calls as they come. And guess who's airfield they operate out of

[Rifleman]

Living near Oceana NAS, I see alot of military (I can hear fighters right now!).

[GWSimulations]

C-130, Tornado, Chinook, C-17...

[flyboy 28]

We used to get a lot of GA over here, because of the scenery, but now I see next to nothing... Every now and then a Blackhawk flies over.. I once saw a B-1.. I dunno why it was over rural New Jersey.. Also I used to get a lot of traffic into Newark.. That's changed also. I guess they changed the path or somthing

[Scorpiоn]

I see a lot of tubes with wings carrying people inside.  Apparently these are considered aircraft as well. Who would'a thunk it?

But as far as true aircraft go, Zeroes a couple o' times, a Mustang once or twice, Texans a handful of times, and once, an AH-64!

[TacitBlue]

I almost forgot about the AH-1s, I dont see them very often at all, but once in a while, 3 or 4 will fly over. I got to watch one take off, and hover about 3 feet above the ground at a demonstration at the local NG armory.

[The Ruptured Duck]

Oh boy, something I like to talk about!

Beech factory:  Hawkers, Premier I's, T-6 Texan 2's, Bonanzas, Sierras, musketeers, kings air's, barons, and a duchess

Cessna:  172's, 182's, 206's, 208's, Cj's of all shapes and sizes

Mc Connel:  KC-135's mostly, occational F-16 or T38 or T-1

Lear:  Bombardier 604, CRJ's of all shapes and sizes.

Occationally the Jayhawk wing of the CAF will fly a bobcat or PT-17 out of Dead Cow Intl., and plenty of bizz jets flying into jabarra.

I don't really know what flew around here twelve years ago but I'm gonna check it out! Maybe it was a Starfighter which had a grey metal colour in those days.

12 years ago it could have been a Canadian Hornet from Baden-Sollingen...

[Omag 2.0]

hmmm, interesting. I'm not aware of any Tomcat activity in Belgium. You say a white plane? Maybe it was an A-10 from Spangdahlem which also train alot on the Pampa range in Hechtel. You saw a double tail? Maybe a F-15 from Lakenheath which could explain the sound?

If you could remember whether it had sweeping wings or not, that would clear it up!

Hmm, we're talkin early 90's here, over the Semois river ( Bouillon, South-east of Namur). I do remember triangle like closed wings. Since they did some loops and sharp turns I ask myself if a F-14 could do that with closed wings ( no expert on that one). Guess the F-15 could be a more plausible explanation. Dar, if only we had digital camera's and powerfull telelenses back than...  ;)
