Yet, I see the civvy variants of the 737 coming into land on runway 6 from my house.
And that, of course, adds to the frustration - if it was a militarily important flight, the current conditions wouldn't prevent it, but as this is purely for entertainment they naturally won't take the risk, especially as the Tattoo crown might not even see it anyway.

Who's for a mass painting of all our C-17s and Typhoons in luminous orange and fitting their outlines with LEDs tomorrow? :ninja: :D

Sod's Law at work, after I decided not to bother heading into town🙄 Too late now. Oh well, I might see it go over towards the airport, though it'll look even more like a regular 737 by then😶

A 737 on an unusual track. Overhead Airfield heading North on a 06 runway day…

I take it the P8's transponder isn't on 'publicly' as I don't see it on Flightradar or Plane Finder? Only military aircraft I see is a Typhoon NE of Lossiemouth.

The Red Arrows cancellation was understandable due to Weather, but tonight? Same?
