OTT

Post by airworld » Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:55 pm

Evening all,

Just been walking the dog round the local area ( 3 miles from mcr airport) and heard an unusual a/c engine noise, it had already passed over me before I located it so only got a rear view but it appeared vintyage military jet in silver unpainted metal with a orange band around the rear of the body and poss wing tip tanks. Only managed a glimpse of this so could be wrong. Anyone any idea?

If I was wrong about it Im getting older and my eyes may need testing and im standing by that !!!!!!!

Grateful if rather than just posting OTT you could help yourself by posting in the title - where?

May get you more answers?

Many thanks. :)
