A400 Atlas

Post by Diamond Nine » Wed Oct 28, 2015 8:53 pm

Our house was buzzed tonight at about half seven.Just finished bathing our two year old and and my partner and i we startled by the sound as it got louder and louder,thought it was going to take the roof off.Flew right over the house and even manged to catch it heading into Edinburgh.Went on to Flight radar and found out it was an Atlas.Ending up doing another four passes over us and missed approaches at Edinburgh before heading south.Pity it was dark.Would have got some great pics.oh well,nice sound of it though. :thumb:

Which Runway were they using? Was it 06 by chance? Wish I knew this was going on.. Haven't seen an A.400 yet.

Presumably ZM400 as that appears to have been the flyer on Wednesday evening.

Was using the callsign Gauntlet 52, was out of Brize Norton, did 2 x ILs and 3 x SRA to runway 06, was at Prestwick on same callsign Thursday night. Was fortunate enough to see it in the lights from the Bridges from Rosyth. Impressive beastie!!
