My friend sent me a picture of 3 yesterday. And all the Chinooks. A NATO MRTT the other day too.
I'll see if I can post them here later

The three C-17's yesterday came out of Dover AFB, wink wink nudge nudge. They unloaded some things that are thousands of parts flying in close formation.

Would you possibly be referring to some things with white tops (don't want to be specific and have the SS flag me!) If not, I'd really like to know what else comes from dover.

Anywhere we’re able to get a good tarmac view of these ospreys, C-17s, and white topped contraption?? Got some time after work tomorrow I’d totally go for a nerd out drive for.

I was tracking the last one of Flight Radar and saw where it ended up, so rode there later. Go to the very end of Aviation Way. There was a fair sized crowd there looking at them.

Air India flight 171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick crashed this morning in a residential area after take-off. 242 souls on board.
Tragic.
Air India also flies to both Vancouver and Toronto daily.

Dreamliner. Pretty stunning news- probably even thread worthy?
Regardless of circumstances, Boeing in serious trouble.
RIP to all on board.

In this video you can hear the ram air turbine spinning. They possibly lost both engines.
This is the original version of the one in the BBC article.
