Watch the planes.

Hi

The busiest day of the year for flights, 8,800 of them.

You can watch them.

Flightradar is also good.

Just zoom in and see what is above where you live.

Re: Watch the planes.

I was at a golf course near Birmingham airport today and the the planes were non stop, flying over!


I hope this isn't derailing the thread too much but l saw something about Croydon airport on television yesterday.
It is now a museum but the history of the first wooden, then metal aeroplanes was fascinating !
It showed a wicker chair that was used for seating in the plane! It showed on a map, the journey that the plane took to get to Australia. I think after all the stops, it took two months to get there and only very wealthy people could afford the fare!
I wish, l lived near Croydon and could visit the museum, as it was so interesting!

Was it something l said, that 'killed' this thread?!!

Re: Watch the planes.

No we were all watching the planes....

Well I would but theres a big fat 0 where I live...

Guess thats because of the airbase ..we do get gliders though

Re: Watch the planes.

I suppose, most planes will be dodging drones!

Re: Watch the planes.

I live under the Gatwick flight path, but whereas usually the sky is full of vapour trails, for the past few days the sky has been absolutely empty!!!
