This noisy so and so flew over my house . I do like living near naval bases.

They have such a distinctive sound. You know instantly what's coming when you hear it.
There's a couple of helicopters we normally get over Southampton, either the air ambulance or more often than not the police copter

I live near a US Army National Guard training base, so we get all kinds of military traffic over my house - a variety of helicopters, big C-130 aircraft (my next door neighbor anime groupie is in the Guard and services the C-130 planes), and we use to see a lot of A-10 Warthogs, Apache helicopters, and the awesomely-cool Sky-Crane helicopters, until they moved them to other nearby bases a bit further away.

Also near me is Solent Airport where you can pay to go up in a Spitfire, so we get that flying around most days when the weather is nice.





Not great pictures as its really hard to get a good one of a Spitfire with your phone.

Ha! That second photo looks like a door came off the plane and is falling to earth...

Until they do night exercises, from someone living near the Army Air Corps (under the flight path due to the Porton Exclusion Zone).

They can be quite noisy when there isn't much noise

My goodness, living there would have made my 12 year-old-self so very happy! Just remember playing all sorts of A10 tank killer, F117 stealth bomber and likely also Apache flight sim games back then, when not playing Lucasarts point&click adventure games...aaaah good times.
