Aircraft Flying Overhead [OTT]

AF66 (F-GZNE in skyteam livery) currently overhead and earlier a Turkish air force KC-135 passed over.
 
Also of interest BEL7XA an A320 (OO-SNC) in the 'magritte' livery is just passing to the west.
 
USAF AC-130W Stinger II over Bradford at 24000 ft heading North West out of Mildenhall. Could hear its low drone for ages.
 
Clearly visible at 0812 heading southeast, directly overhead, having departed Prestwick flying at 35000' is

Douglas DC-8-73F N782SP operated by Samaritans Purse. A very rare bird!!

The aircraft was initially delivered to Finnair in 1969 and later operated by the French Air Force
 
DC-3 G-AMPY just flown overhead here in sunny Batley at 2400 feet. A very distinctive and unmistakable sound. The aircraft is 79 years old.
 
P-68 G-RIPA is cuuently(1200) carrying out survey runs via overhead the airfield at 3500'/ The runs are North-South starting from approx Otley to Batley and gradually heading East
 
Yesterday what looked like a Boeing AWAC passed directly overhead Cookridge heading South East, presumably towards an East Anglian base. It wasn't high and could be seen clearly once it cleared some scattered cloud.
 
Last evening there was a Boeing AWAC circling near the coast of Romania (Constanta) presumably keeping an eye on the southern Ukraine Odesa/Crimea region etc. I didn't note the aicraft details but it was in a stationary orbit for a long time at, if memory serves me right, at 37000ft. Maybe this is what you saw.

Heads Up!

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the first!
i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
