What AnotherBod said ^
Really noisy where I am as they fly overhead.

It's like living in a war zone in Lincolnshire at the moment! I was just on Flightradar wondering what was going on. The 3 Canadian ones are heading North.

I live near an airbase in Lincs and they have scheduled night flying practice this week.

That many Typhoons will be LOUD! We have an air show here, and one Typhoon is deafening!

One of the best things I've discovered on MN is Flight Radar!

Do you find out all this just from creating an account with flight radar?

What's owned by draken?

Tonight it looks like it’s Draken Europe providing mainly Dassault Falcon 20’s operating under various call signs.

Draken are a big international company who provide various aircraft and crews to fly around acting as targets for the military, often simulating tactics and methods (e.g electronic warfare) that potential adversaries might use.

Didn’t see it but very very very much doubt it was a Typhoon, much more likely it was another type or Flightradar had the wrong data.

imjusthereforAIBU · 02/10/2024 22:26

We're in Suffolk and go through phases of this kind of activity. As far as I'm aware, it's exercises. Been years and years of the same kind of patterns with no other real excitement to it.
Although once a chinook did carry a jeep on a winch over the house - that was cool.

I am fascinated by flight radar so went on it saw what you said but then my mind wandered thought with rockets from Israel and Lebanon and Iran I thought I woukd look surprise normal jets over Israel Lebanon and Iran thought they would have stopped flights atm
