But the id is F-OJAI2
So that would be a receiver near Amman from the airport code. That site is active almost 24 hours later, at the moment tracking an Egyptair A330 approaching the Gulf of Aqaba.

I have a FR24 supplied receiver and a program to see the raw data it receives.

AFAIK, The aircraft transmits GPS position, groundspeed, heading, bank angle and an altitude, every second. Software calculates VS. FR receive all this data but only plot every 30sec or minute on the webpage.

Obviously bank angle isn't shown on FR24 but I can clearly see it on raw data analysis.
Wonder if some more useful data could be harvested off F-OJAI2's computer? FR24 would know the contact information.
