megalithic Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 To my eyes anyway. Haven't seen one that low in my 45 years. Anyone else see it? 21.35-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Easyjet coming to land at Sheffield Airport ...... Late as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nope. How low? Could you see what plane/company it was? If it was maylaysian airlines you could have solved a mystery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Haha. Not that low I'm afraid. I know height is almost impossible to judge as there's little to use as a reference point, but very low from usual observations. Just thought it quite odd. Wish I'd not uninstalled flight radar now!

JFKvsNixon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Via plane finder: 21:31 - Easyjet, Airbus A319, 38,000 ft, 518MPH, London - Inverness. 21:33 - Emirates, Airbus A380-800, 11,750 ft, Manchester - Dubai. 21:34 - Ryanair, Boeing 737-800, 32,875 ft, Stansted - Edinburgh. That's it for around those times until 21:46, so I'm guessing that it was the Manchester - Dubai flight that stated you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Definitely not that late mate. Was back in the house by then. And was travelling west to east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Definitely not that late mate. Was back in the house by then. And was travelling west to east. You said 21:35 and the Manchester - Dubai flight flew over Sheffield @ 21:33. It was pretty low as well compared to all the other airliners that fly over Sheffield, for example the others at the time were three times higher, it also was travelling west to east. So it looks like it was the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Boy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Plus if it was the A380 the pure size of that thing could have added to the illusion of it being really low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
