Americans doing a lot of training?

[nescafe37]

Is it me or does it seem like the Americans are doing a lot of training this week?

They do a lot of training every working day, be it in the air or on the ground.

Yeah, the post that suddenly went from 3,000 down to 1,000 sorties during March, due to mishearing some gossip.

well i havent know them to bring the ospreys down this way before and also the f15s down at SPTA? is that usual?

[nescafe37]

Sounds like the f15s are on there way back down to salisbury again now

The Ospreys have been down this way before, heard them at Keevil with their unmistakable sound. Saw one on Monday in formation with a Chinook near Trowbridge.

I've seen F-15s low over County Durham this week - not seen them for ages at low level.

Wondered what was going on (I'm in Hilperton near Trowbridge), constant activity here at the moment. Even right now I can hear fast jets up above, it's been pretty much 24 hours solid now. Also had 3 Apaches low and fast, Chinooks, Ospreys and the usual C-17 but much more active than usual.

Not unusual to hear/see activity considering I'm a mile from Keevil, but the flight paths are all different and it's very rare to hear jets down this way.
