Title: strange sight
Post by: edinpenna on May 07, 2010, 06:27:42 PM

About 90 minutes ago I saw a passenger jet, possibly an MD80, flying with four smaller aircraft surounding it, flying southward.  The smaller planes looked like fighters.  I'm in Bucks Co., Penna.

The timing might make it an RAF VC-10 and four Tornados that departed CYWG heading for Bermuda.  I don't know their exact routing, but it looks plausible on Google Maps :)
