Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Every week we get a huge military plane flying right over our garden. I am no expert on planes but it looks very much like the Boeing C-17 Globemaster.I know when it's coming because it is ten times louder than the holiday planes that are on there way to Exeter airport.

It never lands, just goes around twice then heads back to wherever it came from. (my guess is Cyprus). Apparently they are notoriously difficult to handle when landing and taking off and a few of them have crashed.

Live video from the ISS. When I looked just now, they were out, changing the cameras.
