Interesting aircraft - what have you seen on your computer today?

[treadigraph]

Come on, do you really expect those of a humorous mindset to name themselves "Poodle 21" or "Tiddles 18"? Mind you, naming Monday's mission after my lovely ex-colleague/secretary's neighbour's five year old bed-wetting nappy wearing, near blind scion Tyson was a bit weird...

(I'll leave you to ponder how I know what little Tyson looked like...)

Lots of noise north of Cambridge and a quick check on Freedar showed B52's noble 42 followed by noble 41 heading NE along the Dutch coast

However, as it actually departed from Ostend in Belgium presumably they know what's in it and it's OK with them.

Unexpected (in the circumstances) familiar deep drone just headed NW over London enroute Marseilles-Brum.

Ukrainian An-12 UR-CAJ of Meridian rumbled NW over London this afternoon, seemed to be routing Marseille to Birmingham. Thought we may have seen the last of these, but this one at least rolling on, second such flight in two days.

Ah, took 4 minutes from overhead Treadders to overhead me ...

Interesting, there are only a handful of those still flying - do you have an identity for it?

Perhaps one of the Canadian-reg Skyhawks of DA Defense, Wittmund (Germany) based?

AFAIK they're the only ones based over this side of the Atlantic. Weird looking, but cool at the same time.

Sat in an A-4 cockpit about 20 years ago - seemed a very small office!

It was Canadian reg. Iwas in a rush at the time so apologies for being light on detail.

Registered to Top Aces, Inc at Dorval, albeit based at ETNT. Not sure about the relationship between TA and Discovery Air Defence Services.

Top Aces was previously known as Discovery Air Defense Services but no longer owned by Discovery Air

Interested to see two Indian Air Force C-17s leaving Eastern European airfields in the last hour on ADS-B Exchange.

CB-8009 in and out of Budapest Liszt Ferenc, Hungary (LHBP)

CB-8008 in and out of Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport, Poland (EPRZ) - 50nmish from the Ukraine border - 100nmish from Lviv,

Apparently part of Op Ganga - evacuating Indian nationals free of charge.

Though, being a Canadian company, Defence rather than Defense.
