I just saw a jumbo jet do..
 

.. a complete U-turn over our clear skies. Was heading due SSE and in a short space did a total u turn and headed back NNW. It was at max altitude (as they are up here). Why would it do that?

wouldn't a jumbo take about 50-70 miles to U-turn? (almost out of horizon) or did he handbrake it? was he chasing the Eurofighter you saw or going after the UFO?

PS - what is Ceiling height for a jumbo? report him for bad driving if you noted his number

It probably was a 50 mile u-turn. Its a big sky up here. He was heading for Edinburgh and now he is heading straight back towards Iceland?

We only get a few planes per day here.

Sure - many Jumbos land at EDI just behind the UFOs - EDI has such a long runway for the aliens and huge planes

Are you sure it was a jumbo doing the handbrake turn or Nelly the Elephant?

Was it bright pink?

:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant: :elephant::elephant:

A billy connelly used to say about tcheuchters from the Highlands - a double decker bus? is that a hoose wi wheels?

In this current climate it is slightly worrying. I would hope that it was a military plane.

So now the military are flying whute Jumbo's and handbraking them - that sure is spooky - sure it wasn't a seagull? was it a flying hoose wi wheels?

It must be "25% off frozen pizza" day at the shop in Inverness cos Rekyavick runway is even shorter than EDI. Tell Kerry

"The Voice of Reason" strikes again - the military in white jumbos are heading to Iceland as all mums do - 25% off frozen pizzas..........I don't need to jump in my jumbo as pal's wife works in Iceland and gets staff discounr........you know it makes sense

Terrorists are gonna crash a Jumbo into Inverness Town Hall - keep it on CNN and see Leather IS Voice of Reason.

What next? Will Elgin get hit?

I would eat something if I were you.

Frozen pizza? Before the world changes when Al Quieda fly a jumbo staight into the heart of western democracy? (AKA Inverness town hall)

We got the head's up first here - no way I'm gonna step on a white military jumbo today to go to Iceland....boot of my car will do the groceries......or Syl will get me more with staff discount

Also another slight problem with your UFO white military sighting is that a jumbo would have to be dropping from ceiling height over Highlands to even attempt emergency landing @ EDI's short runway, and it certainly wouldn't handbrake the motor north towards a shorter runway in Iceland.

Think you saw a seagull, I know they look big to tcheuchters - 'a hoose wi wings'

Oh god - Elgin Centre is gonna get terrorised

Are you really President/Gavin?

I'm gonna hop the next commuter Jumbo Jet EDI-RYK on that busy route and just hope it doesn't do aerotatics over Leather's house - getting to 37000 feet over highlands will be an achievement in itself

Nah Elgin was okay I was there all morning, no sirens nor nuthing.

Thank got you're safe Shas -thought it was maybe a 9/11 type attack on the centres of the world economy that are Inverness and Elgin!

Whooooaaa there; you live in the Highlands? Goddamn it; I'm no longer the furthest north!


Back on topic: that's weird, why on earth would it do that?

It was a militay seagull flying @ 37 feet on it's way to inverness

Its dem mooooslims gonna crash in your house LoL

Them Al Quiedi using sea birds now to hit centres of economy

Tell us more truths Gavin/Ptrsident

They saw how much of a bitch I was so they had to turn around.

Cya suckers!

LOL Ghetto - went to Iceland instead of EDI abuse!

Yeah had me worried for a short while, but I have been out in the front garden today building a bomb shelter, those pesky ragheads wont get me.

Any white military jumbos buzzing you this morning Trumpet @ 37000 feet? or has Ghetto scared them off?
