Live at the moment, for those interested in this kind of thing. Flightradar24 will show you which flights are approaching.

I am looking out of my window at the flights coming in to thiefrow as it used to be known,bit gusty here.

 

[Monty Pigeon]

Amazing skills from the pilots, though I wouldn't have wanted to be aboard the Aeroflot A330 that touched down a few mins ago. The landing gear took quite an impact on that one.

Apparently this is just a foretaste. The worst of the wind will be from 4pm this afternoon.

I better put my washing on the line,sky is brightening up at the moment,bit windy at the moment but not excessive.

They all will when there's a strong enough crosswind.

I’m flying out to Austria from Newcastle tomorrow, the forecast isn’t too clever.

Cracking watch. Think I'll go through a few more. Used to he terrified of flying but really started enjoying it over the last few years. Flight radar is quite addictive once you sit watching it

I also watch real VAS aviationon YouTube. There's a one that's hard to listen to where some teenage lass has a problem on her first solo flight and has to do an emergency landing.

Always interesting watching the students learning to do it

 

[Monty Pigeon]

Eek. The Air Algeria landing was the hairiest so far. Weather getting worse, or pilot inexperience?

 

[Tomma]

Loving watching this video, but it doesn't half make me need a wazz.

 

[Dave Herbal]

Pilots in doing their job shocker.

Approached Newcastle once in a strong crosswind. Warned the little one it would be bumpy. Plane was swinging about all over the place then hit the ground with such a bang and all the doors on the overhead bins flew open. Some people screamed. The bairn looked at me with wide eyes and said "that was mint! I wish we could always land like that"

 

[Jon Dough]

Just started tipping it down around heathrow,and the wind seems to have picked up.

Always wondered about these streams, are they set up for morbid people waiting for a crash to happen?
