Military trainer jets
Pairs of small, fast jets and turboprops circling near an air base are often student pilots. Training flights happen almost every weekday near pilot-training bases.
Many retired trainers, like the L-39 Albatros and Jet Provost, now fly with private owners, so you can catch one with a civil registration far from any base.
How to tell them apart
One turboprop, two seats one behind the other, a bubble canopy
A T-6 Texan II or a Pilatus PC-21.
A small, sleek twin-engine jet, often white
A T-38 Talon.
A small single-engine jet with an intake on each side of the cockpit
A BAE Hawk, the jet the Red Arrows fly.
