planedriver Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Just before midday today, I was on Mermaid Beach and saw a J230 heading north at about 1000ft agl, and wondered who it was? About 2mins later a couple of FA18s flew along much the same track but at barely 200ft above sea level going like a bat out of hell.I thought to myself, that bugger must have forgotten to pay his landing fees at Newcastle and they've come to collect, or is there some other explanation?
Geoff13 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I wouldn't want to be in the J230 when they went below me at 200 feet.
Guernsey Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Hope he was squawking. I bet he was squawking if he did see the jets, and I don't mean his transponder.. Alan. 1
Bennyboy320 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 No worries the boys would have had him on their radar BVR (beyond visual range)
