MM:

Could be, but I haven't heard about a search.... Unless they are searching for a body lost near Kincardine last week.

Probably a 424 Sqn crew out training - Goderich is easily within striking distance of Trenton.  It would have been some sort of SAR profile.

Having spent a bit of OJT with 424 as well as frequenting the airspace around London, I can confirm that they go down there (Goderich, Tillsonburg, etc) fairly often. Seems to be the most likely culprit.

Or the FE had chili for lunch and the pilot was venting the aircraft of noxious fumes.  ;D

t22A,

Guess you'll have to quit gazing into your navel and look up once in awhile ;D

An airplane out flying ??

How unusual.......

 

[gaspasser]

Any nude or topless beaches nearby?  Sometimes the SAR bird has to train at the lower altitudes to ensure there's no swimmers in trouble~~~ 8)

No only for the Aurora  :nod:

 

[tango22a]

Gee, thanks (I think ??):

Dave:  Since I picked all the lint out a few months ago, I haven't been navel-gazing recently!!!

Canadian Aviator: Sarcasm has its place.

Thanks again to all who cared to answer. I was just attempting to find out what brought a Herc to this area.


Cheers,

LOL...want to see my logbook for the year so far ? Might make you change your impression........

 

[tango22a]

The Herc seemed to be doing race track orbits around Goderich International Airport.

Four smoke trails and motion DOES attract sight line. Possibly the Herc was shooting touch-and-goes??

Doubt he was doing Touch-and-Goes with his ramp down.

You can't fool us; not every year is an Olympic Year ...  >

 

[gaspasser]

"smokey" means it's a "Legacy" model...and they do that~~~

 

[Zoomie]

If he was doing orbits with his ramp down - he was setting up for live para.
