Planes
Our house got buzzed today and I knew it wasn't a normal plane sound. Grabbed the dogs and went down to the airport.

Looks like Laughlin and the Bullhead City airport... I get the B -17 over my house (Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport) area frequently.

RE: Planes
Yep. I was in Havasu Thursday, turned a corner and saw a 4 engine plane coming toward me. We get Cs from Davis Monthan doing touch and goes all the time at IFP but I thought it might be this B17. I pulled over and got out in time to watch it fly by fairly close.

RE: Planes
Four of the fighters have been flying around today. Our house sits on a ridge about 200 feet above the airport. The fighters made a low pass over the house but we couldn't get to the camera fast enough.

RE: Planes
I live in Rural Scotland at the top of a hill and the RAF practice bombing our house on a daily basis[8D]
The neighbours hate it, my twin girls used to squeal and run into the house terrified when they were wee, but now we all go out and watch the show. [:D]
We get some great dogfights and a lot of what I assume are trainees ducking and diving dodging and weaving in smaller jets. Chinooks and other copters have been known to deposit troops in the field just outside my back garden but that's pretty rare these days.
Cheers

RE: Planes
Here's the local newspaper article from Sunday
EDIT link expired
with a pic of fighters. The paper had a shot of the nose art on the B-17. Unless it has been redone, a friend of mind painted it years ago.
Someone must have paid the $425 because it flew this afternoon.

RE: Planes
Wednesday a C130 landed and the 1st Marines played capture the airport. World crisis training.
A few minutes ago, 3 of the large twin rotor Marine helicopters landed.
Monday the 747 from Las Vegas was parked here.

Sounds like a training buildup.
History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake.

The US Marines' answer to trickle down economy. Or should it be "Save Las Vegas"?

My office looks out over the harbour - over the past couple of months we've had Blackhawks carrying out training exercises every couple of weeks - circle in through some buildings - hover then off over the harbour and back again - its a very impressive sight.
