I’m a bit late due to only finding this chat just now and this form a day ago but while i was looking on Flighttracker24 i saw this beauty flying over my county unfortunately i didn’t think of grabbing a screenshot.

It was flying at 24,000 feet but i was still able to hear the noise of the engines and that prompted me to look onto said site to see what plane it was if not even for WOA id never of found said site and knew this was flying overhead.

It’s one loud beast. Went right up the Wirral and Mersey and just echoing off the buildings. Glorious thing I hope it continues flying for many years with Cavok.

Diamond da-40s to start, then a da-42, from there it’ll be a Sim 737, if I make it through all 4 years I’ll be set to be hired on by endevour, republic, horizon, or one of the other American regional carriers

Also, sorry about that @ukplanespotter757 didn’t realize I had chosen the news thread instead of the talking point :joy:
