There is a NATO flight and Royal Air Force Canada flight circling off east coast between Edinburgh and down to Newcastle plus some "cougar" planes in vicinity - any ideas?!

Are they scientific/weather related flights??

Probably some sort of military exercise.

Training exercise?

Yes there were 2 euro fighters from Elgin and 3 dassault falcons from teeside earlier. Some kind of exercise?

There’s also a USAF flight.

Training exercises?

Just an exercise!

I live quite near Lossiemouth and there’s been a helicopter flying over for the last few days but more so today and it hasn’t appeared on FlightRadar, but that’s quite common.

That NATO one was circling Scotland a few weeks ago! I wonder if they get dizzy 🤣

There's been a Typhoon or two in and out of Coningsby in Lincolnshire, been flying about East Anglia and the Wash for some sightseeing. Mind you, they often do that.

It's a multi national exercise. Run out of Waddington, but flights also going from Lossiemouth, Cranwell, Mildenhall, Brize Norton etc

The flights from Lossie go over my house. I hear them then check if they're tracking on flightradar. Not all are.

ADSB often shows more of the military planes than FlightRadar does. It’s looking interesting at the moment.

Thank you!- Cobra Warrior info gatherers!

Some of these were up last night too
