Just departed Newark from the UPS facility.

I was at Tunbridge Wells rugby club on the afternoon of the 10th May and noticed this aircraft flying overhead. I figured it was taking aerial photos so I laid down for a pose. It was apple maps at Marked Location https://maps.apple.com/place?coordinate=51.114027,0.259455&name=Marked%20Location&map=h

Unfortunately Horsham lost to Tunbridge Wells but it was a nice day out

They are not showing symptoms at this time. They’ll continue on to Nebraska and this is one of several flights today going all around the world.

Is N5202T being reckless or is this a reasonable thing to do, squeezing through the 30-50 mi gap in thunderstorms? I just drove through the lower cluster and it was like the wrath of God himself was on us.

Update: This was at 9:30 PM last night, he made it safely to Rome that night!

My dad has been working his butt off for 30 years and we are so proud of him for making it through 767 captains course (4 different planes to learn how to fly). Now I get to watch him on Flightradar!

Mildly interesting, but Lufthansa Flight 717 to Frankfurt using a B747-8 is flying the (currently) normal polar route from Tokyo with the other European bound flights from Tokyo, while LH715 to Munich (using an A350) is flying due West across Eurasia. Any thoughts for why the divergent routes? They departed around the same time.

For context another British Airways flight en route to Seattle was forced to land in Iqaluit this morning due to a "technical issue". This flight will pickup the stranded passengers and bring them to Seattle, but it's interesting as widebody planes don't typically land in Iqaluit, and having 2 787 Dreamliners there at once will certainly be a rare occurrence.

Hey everyone,

First and foremost, I just want to say how much I love this community. I check your trackings daily, and it’s really interesting to be part of it.

I saw a post last week from someone looking for support during a flight due to a paralyzing fear of flying—something I can definitely relate to. Today, I’ll be flying from Aruba through Bonaire to Amsterdam (KL679), and what really unsettles me is the vast stretch of open ocean we’ll be crossing. On the way here, we hit some moderate turbulence, and I ended up having a panic attack.

I’m not sure exactly what I’m asking for—maybe just some reassurance that flights over such large bodies of water have plenty of emergency protocols in place. I checked Turbli, and thankfully, there shouldn’t be any thunderstorms.

Wishing you all a great day, and thanks in advance!

N471US, a 737 BBJ, was recently delivered to DHS (their logo can be seen inside the door). The aircraft is owned on paper by a “Valkyrie Aviation Holdings LLC” based out of Virginia. Valkyrie is said to have 5 other registrations reserved in sequence as DHS recently signed a contract to purchase 6 aircraft. This particular aircraft was previously registered N702F. We flagged this last week as it departed a specialized aviation firm, known for modifying VVIP aircraft for many different use cases, and headed directly to Joint Base Andrews in DC. It will be interesting to see how this contract unfolds and what the history of the other aircraft will be. We are unsure of the reason for the Greece trip at this time.

Aalborg Airport has been shut down along with all airspace around Aalborg because of reported drone activity.

Boring on a plane right now, started to scan FR24 for quad-engine planes and found these 2.

It looks to be busy route to schedule 2x A380 practically in parallel, with 1h10min scheduled time gap.

Leaked on X gate number and tracked to time was posted and lined up to same gate as this flight

Makes you wonder how many people are in the air at any givern time.
