Last July while walking the dog on the edge of town a Hurricane MkI flew over us, low level.
A jaw dropping experience to say the least |
Cool man! I saw a similar sight, but it was at work on Friday. I work downtown Toronto on the top floor of a loft building so I have a nice view of the north. I hear helicopters landing often at Mount Sianai, but when I heard this thunderous approach I knew it was something serious.
I plaster myself to the window and see a Lancaster flanked by a P-51 (with drop tanks) a Hurricane and a B-25 with D-Day stripes on it. The Lanc was center, the fighters to either side nice and close. The B-25 was trailing a bit somewhat out of formation. Wish I had of grabbed my iphone in time, but I didn't want to miss it with my real eyes. No idea what they were doing here, there's a Lancaster that flies out of Hamilton at the Canadian aviation museum, but doesn't explain the presence of the other planes. Thanks for posting mate, |

Perhaps something to do with the upcoming Hamilton Airshow? Dunno, just a guess. |
It's great seeing the unexpected. I remember watching in disbelief as a lancaster flew over me in East London about 10 years ago.
Thanks for posting- the sound is great! |

In Sweden warbirds are pretty rare so I remember looking out of the window from my office once from the 7:th floor out over the ocean seeing a silver thingy going way to fast for a civilian aircraft... It looked like it was below me and when it pulled up I realized it was a Mustang with the sun glittering in the polished wings.... Screamed so the other people at the same meeting jumped out of their chairs :) Beautiful sight!
I'm still waiting for the Fokker dr 1 that is based closed to where I live to pass my porch in the sunset while having a Friday cocktail ;) |
