I've become a part time plane spotter

[JASR]

A bit late , but

RIP Antonov An-225 Mriya

There’s apparently a semi-completed 2nd one - was featured on ‘Abandoned engineering’ TV program a few years ago - excellent series.
The building it was being stored in didn’t inspire confidence - nor can I remember where in Ukraine it was.

Just drove by the local municipal airport and there’s a RAF DC3 parked up right by the road, flew in yesterday

It’s incredible they still have them in operation

This must be a private one, still has the RAF sign on. Beautiful looking plane

What the Hell just flew over Manchester? Couldn’t see anything on Flight Radar but sounded like a fighter jet

This is what the 'huge bang' just heard across Manchester was

It's nothing to worry about.

I'm addicted to flightradar24, for years I've always wondered where that plane over head is going. I'm quite lucky as I'm under the transatlantic flight path for high altitude flights and flights circling to land into Manchester.
