mr2mk1g 10 #1 October 5, 2005 I was waiting at my home DZ on saturday for our plane to turn up and take us on a demo. While there, a bandit flew straight across the middle of the DZ without a care for who could have been in the air. We tried to get it's number so we could report the guy but didn't manage to take it down in time. The bandit was one of these: http://www.milairpix.com/planes/bone.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nutz 0 #3 October 5, 2005 I see that all the time. Usually they will make an announcment on the airport frequency. It is not uncommon to overfly the field before making your downwind run. Just my $0.02. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #4 October 5, 2005 Well, seeing as they operate out of Texas and South Dakota it's probably not that surprising to see them hanging out over the states... Seeing one cruse across an airfield in the South of England at about 8,000ft is a bit more of an event though! I'm joking about reporting them of course - who the hell are we going to complain to, that a military jet over flew a military airbase. Just damn cool to see one of the largest bombers in operation flying over the DZ on a Saturday morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
