Problem Overhead LBA ?

hey guys ive been looking over on the modern miltary avation area and there is information there that American bombers have been using the east coast ranges over the last few days maybe this had something to do with it

yeah probly the B1 Bomber or a Boeing 737-7ES Wedgetail.

Yes it does look like it there but in real it was quite clear that it had four englines, but it was quite high so from the ground i guess it would look like two.

Hi, I first noticed it at about 12.30, and it has just stoped going around about 10 mins ago. I took some pics with my phone at about 1.30 but they are not very good quality.

Is it me but that last picture looks like its an two engine plane.

Yeah, for those that may not know, AWAC stands for – airborne warning control system, and the aircraft is also known as the ‘Sentry’, and was in fact my favourite military aircraft, back in my Air Cadet days… 😀

Hey sorry guys about the slang. I only thought it was commercial because i saw them go up and down all day and just presumed. When you say it was support aircraft for the RAF do you mean aircraft such as the VC10’s? I have noticed that it was mentioned that they were senterys and you like them from back on your cadet days i must say im still at cadets and i prefer the VC10 lol :p

hey guys there could be an fighter exersise going on over the north sea it could be a support aircraft

Don’t worry. It’s nothing abnormal. Probably just aircraft that are spreading some chemtrails 😉 😉 .

LBA-EGNM as posted above it was an RAF AWAC and not commercial traffic. Also as you have been asked before please stop using slang on here. It’s difficult to understand and people find it irritating. Thanks.

these ones were doin 360’s

I saw something similar a few months back. About 8am in the morning an aircraft with a large contrail doing a 180 degree turn over Leeds. There was already one other contrail in the same shape a short distance away. Big brother is watching!

well i bin up in tghe LBA region all day i mean all day from 9.30 till 22.00 lol anyways ive seen them going round and round all day and they are not RAF defo commercial. just circle after circle and did take about 20 mins

I saw those trails too i was on the train going into Leeds
they were over towards the East
interesting to know what was going on

I also recognise those contrails, never took any notice of them!

Interesting shots, but is it not AWAC rather than AWACK?

Ah, I recognise those contrails from when I walked out of the terminal.

Yep can confirm that, just been back out with the binoculars. Thanks for the help gents.

Its a awack, like a B707 with a radar on top, its doing training i think

For you who dont know what a Awak is i think this is one:
