Near Air Miss (Too Close for Comfort) @SKYFLYBRI

Uploaded September 2012 | Updated September 2026, 1 day ago

Just setting up to do a PFL with engine off when an aircraft came towards me at same hight from about 90 degrees off.

Edit add Info: both aircraft are at 2000 feet give or take a few feet, The Location is Glidden Farm clearly shown on the chart, yes he had right of way as he was on the right. I didn't see the aircraft until the last second and what I have learnt from this is to keep a better lookout and maybe not fly at 1000 1500 or 2000 feet as this seems to be the main cruising level for GA aircraft.

$Orange Sky over UK The sky has turned dark and the sun a deep orange because of Storm Ophelia. Filmed near Portsmouth Hampshire UK at 15:44 GMT I have 2 hours of time laps photos taken 2 secs apart before this time, but it don’t show much. Looking at the sun without a filter and the last photos are from my telescope without a filter. As the sun moves through the dust in the air, the light is reflected and refracted, Met Office forecaster Grahame Madge said the former hurricane is pulling air and dust up from southern Europe and Africa. Red sky at day: why is it happening? Grahame Madge from the Met Office reported that the change in the sky was due to dust particles from the continent, being pulled up through a “vigorous and powerful system” connected to Storm Ophelia.$
