[@drsmith6595]

What a great capture Kev 👍 To get away from the office sometimes (80’s) do my paperwork, I used to park at Upper Heyford in the hope of seeing F111’s. And one day ‘bingo’ 42 no. returning from exercises many doing a touch & go before finally landing 😀

Question is why the increased military activity at BHX recently?

Rough landings imo 😮

[@brianwillson9567]

Would love to depart/arrive Brum in one of these beasts as a change from boring airbusses or 7?7s.

Would make for a grand arrival Brian 👍

[@jazzycattruthkitten4101]

Military action ,I haven’t watched airport action for long ,is this unusual ? Three Apache’s and now this at a passenger airport,any significance?

[@AirportAction]

Hi Jazzycat , BHX is often used for practice , using C17 , A400M , KC2 Voyager , sometimes injured military are flown in and taken to the QE Hospital. 👍

[@jazzycattruthkitten4101]

@@AirportAction Hi Kev ,okay thanks for that. I just wondered was there a war looming or something. I’ve been watching since January,but never saw this before ,just checking to see if it’s unusual,cheers .

[@Shaz_YNWA]

Seen it at John Lennon Airport 😎

[@AirportAction]

Great stuff Shaz 👍

[@jazzycattruthkitten4101]

Excellent catch ,sorry I missed it ,but I did see the Apache’s the other day .

[@AirportAction]

Thanks Jazzycat 👍

[@hassanbham]

what was the point of these touch and go's

[@415volts]

Normally for trainee pilot practice - East Mids airport often has Ryanair doing many touch & go's and flying in loops and I've read each one is with a different new trainee pilot - they all sort of wait to be called up by the instructor.

[@AirportAction]

Usually a pilot training exercise 👍

[@fredMplanenut]

One has to realize there are many settings and adjustments a pilot makes to accomplish safe landings, and likewise for take offs. This training is vital in perfecting those where an airfield/ airport has a quiet spot during operations. Nice video.

[@EpicAviationTeam]

When was this?

[@AirportAction]

Today , before the A380 arrival 👍

[@fredscratchet1355]

Thanks Kev and Michelle. Unfortunately I'm missing a lot of your stuff lately, the car self destructed yesterday so been out getting another one today. It was important as we're off on holiday on Saturday!😬

Hey Kev, is there something they aren`t telling us??? 3 Apache gun ships, now C17, maybe Raptors and warthogs tomorrow. give us your thoughts dude.

[@AirportAction]

Hi Rebecca , it's not unusual to see a C-17 or an A400M practicing touch n gos at BHX. Last year i caught 2 A400's landing one after the other at the airport , and we have seen 2 Apache's land at the airport in 2022. However i don't know the reason for the latest military action at BHX 👍

[@rebeccacabacang8346]

@@AirportAction Thanks for that Kevin.....watching the skies more intently now.

[@LukeShort1854]

Could they be testing bhx as an operation base if things with Russia and Ukraine escalate?

[@PinkThorn242]

@@LukeShort1854 BHX is already used for military operations - personnel injured abroad are flown in there then blue-lit or helicoptered to the Royal Center for Defence Medicine at the QEHB campus in Edgbaston.
