Mil aircraft on FR24

[Vortex_Generator]

There are a couple of RNZAF - T-6C Texan II showing over UK at the moment, presumably on delivery. That's got to be some trip!

This was something that the old Warsaw Pact spent a lot of time and effort in man hours to find out not that long ago.

What, you mean filling in subscription forms for British Aviation Review and Scramble?

[Martin the Martian]

How curious. There is seemingly a Royal Air Force Tristar operating over the Moray Firth at the moment. ZD948, apparently. I thought they'd all made their last flights.

[alhenderson]

That's a Tornado up from Lossie with a mis-coded transponder, I believe. The reg/type data on these websites all comes from a unique code which is sent out by the a/c's transponder. If that is set wrongly, or the database used for the look up has dodgy data in it then all manner of things can appear :-)

Al.

[Martin the Martian]

Ah, that explains it. I thought for a moment I'd gone through a timewarp.

RAF Voyager still active on QRA. Tu-95MS Bear H are active in HF Voice and Morse so likely around the periphery of the UK.

Yesterday there was a RAF Sentinal doing the most accurate race track patterns I've ever seen

It has a wonderful autopilot...

Some civvy light aircraft instead of flying in a straight line, spiralled its way across country.

Probably me.... Every man and his dog was up today, went to Wellesbourne and was no 4 to land...and they were queing up behind me...


Does anyone know what aircraft 'Snapshot' is? It was lurking around Doncaster doing approaches.

Some nice views of an intercept from a Russian perspective: TU-95MS & Typhoon

Cheers AC.

Tartan22 (Voyager ZZ332) out and about late (11pm) tonight over the north-east coast.

Wonder if we're expecting "visitors", or just part of Joint Warrior ??

[Tashengurt]

The RAF CAM Hawk showed up on Plane finder yesterday although it was labelled as a T45 Goshawk.

[Tashengurt]

Just tried setting the altitude to 50,000 and the only thing to show up was a NASA Global Hawk over the Gulf of Mexico.
I thought that was quite cool.

The ADS-B site is much better than FlightRadar24. You can use the filters to monitor military only:

Go to: Global Radar View - Menu - Options - Filters - Military - Add Filter.

Good call Tiger G, thank you.
