I've noticed a lot more flights over Bolton in the evenings since about
2 weeks ago. I guess it is to or from Manchester airport. It doesn't
bother me I'm just interested to find out if anyone knows a reason for this?

Is there somewhere on the net i can type in a flight number and it shows
me where it is going from/to etc ??. (UK routes mainly, although
over-flights etc may be handy !)
Kind Regards,

1) From where I work in London, I see an almost constant stream of
planes coming in from the east on their final approach to Heathrow. A
couple of weeks ago I noticed a plane with it's landing gear already
down even though it's aproximate position would have been over

Well, about ten years ago I stopped flying tailwheel aircraft with about 500
'dragger hours under my belt. Next flew a Starduster about two months ago.
Today I got cleared by the club to fly / teach on the Super Cub.  Marvelous
fun! (is that 2 'l's?)

Does anyone know whether the course the aircraft was on was true for
its destination?

Any one going to Duxford this weekend for the spitfire anniversary???
If you are come and say hello, I'll be on the "Space Station" trade stand.
Cheers

felt compelled to report this to the CAA. With immediate effect they

An Mi-17 with an Mi-24 in his 5 o'clock flew across the Humber Estuary
near Brough, south to north, at around 12.15 BST today (Sept 8th)

from / to ??

I was in Manchester tower the other day and saw a return from "dragon".  A
U2!!!
He was flying from the staes to Fairford at FL600. Needless to say the ATCO
said, proudly, "I have an aircraft passing FL500...in the descent!"  He he!

Now that the Space Shuttle is airborne again is there any channel i
could listen to to pick it up on ??, i'm in the UK ??. I have Googled
but cannot really find a definite frequency to listen on and others seem
a little outdated.

A secret plane or a fire rig? Maintenance area east of both main runways at
LHR. Obviously a few years back as two Concordes are at T4.

I recently acquired a share in a Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee. Any of you
with a lot of hours and experience could give me some hints and tips
about this airplane? Thanks in advance.
