Anyone got any idea about what was flying over Edinburgh just now? Loud and not very fast sounding, but didn't appear on any apps.
Re: Military Activity
Probably F-15s from Lakenheath, you'll be able to see the OTT section once you have 5 posts on the forum.
They should be 'MAD31 flight' :- viewtopic.php?f=8&t=202954&p=1282770#p1282770

Re: Military Activity
Yup, heard over Peebles just now. Couldn’t get to a window quick enough to try and catch a glimpse. Seemed to linger for longer than a usual fast jet pass but can’t offer anything more

Just been listening to a loud, deep & continuous roar from the direction of Edinburgh Airport - lasted 3 - maybe 4 minutes. Couldn't see anything in the sky - thought there was maybe something at altitude, but never saw anything. Noise never got any louder, but did eventually fade away.
Sounded like it was heading North.

Re: Military Activity
TAHO & MAD Flts of F15s
Re: Military Activity
Thanks.
Assume MAD was first through, sounded to be heading North.
Second roar I just heard, (TAHO?) at altitude & sounded like they were heading South (over West Edinburgh). Broken cloud with a lovely blue sky, but I still never saw anything.
Re: Military Activity
I think TAHO was first

Re: Military Activity
Would love to see some LN F-15s of any sort performing PDs at Edinburgh?
Re: Military Activity
Thanks for all the replies, I thought it was something a bit unusual!
Re: Military Activity
Thanks.
Assumed otherwise as when I originally posted, MAD had just passed overhead Penicuik, so I thought that's what I heard going North. Then when I heard the second flight shortly after, assumed this was TAHO heading South.
Does that mean MAD Flight are still up here somewhere?

Re: Military Activity
What's the odds they will probably (as in will definetely) take a different route South?
Re: Military Activity
I see your point JHolden92. Would be good though. I hear Prestwick have had 2 Ospreys lucky things. Never seen an Osprey.
