I only visit two or three times a year and I only live 30-40 miles away - should go more often It is well worth a visit as there are usually 4 -6 Apaches flying during the day. Viewing is ok - I like sitting at the Eastern end of the runway if they are landing that way although I think most people p...

There is no need to stop the movements - what do they think is going to happen - someone jumping out of an airliner onto the ramp?

They don't shut the airport for the Queen do they and she is more important.

I second that

Terrific set, especially like the tobacco skies in the second shot.

11:20 looks like the Gritter crew have departed Northolt heading east past north weald

Like these.

They are great looking choppers.

My last one is ZJ133/R stored apparently at Boscombe

Hi

Yes it (MAE) was as view from the Ash pub track. The other C-17 (07-7185) was over on the south side

Fair enough

Not bothered about Mildenhall as I have seen them but I was thinking the runway at Northolt would be short for a full load back to Quantico?

Is this an overreaction by Stansted or the 'Law'? Emirates 67 going to Gatwick after 30 minutes. One Ryanair is saying they will land at Luton and return empty to Stansted :) I am outraged - I feel a letter coming on! RYR 2469 going to EMA RYR 8777 to EMA 17:31 AF1 has lined up but controller still ...

17:05 Stansted arrivals on hold for an indeterminate time Some Ryanair flights are already talking about diverting - its outrageous. Why does an airport come to a complete stand still just for POTUS it doesn't happen for anyone else? Having said that some RYR flights are entering the hold with only ...

16:32 HUAF 682 on finals to Stansted

Showing as 606 477FF6 FA7X

Wonder if the VH-60 will be loaded back onto C-17 at Northolt or perhaps elsewhere ( Mildenhall?) given the extra load and fuel uplift although of course the C-17 has prodigious performance?

Very interesting set

I used to see the same happening at Odiham but with nothing like the access you have in these shots.

Lovely set

You can beat winter light

Terrific set in some nice light , especially the Marine VH-60s

No sign of PH-GOV hope it's still there?

The Turkish Govt B748 TC-TRK and A330 are also worth a mention

TC-TRK ex VQ-BSK so not the greatest frame

I was in the forest entrance using a D7200 with a 200mm F/2.8 effectively a 300mm shooting jpeg I usually go over the stile into the field but I didn't bother yesterday - maybe because I thought 300mm would be enough and the eagles on delivery don't exactly have many markings to try and pic out Look...

Fantastic post , one of your best

I didn't see that many shacks but I do remember seeing my first one flying operationally from RAF Honington. It looked from a bygone age even in the 70s but a great sound track.

Nice bit of burner on ZM151

Both lightnings recently returned from Westlant 19
