NAX7109 788 LN-RNA Bcn to Lax just flown through UK airspace and IBE2621(operated by Level) A332 EC-MOU Bcn-Oak.Both heading North
Strange routings and must be very strong headwinds as only doing between 350-400 knots at 38000.
B763 UAL53 Zrh-Iad is only doing 315knots at 32000

No ID yet, but presume F-15s....currently have TRUST & OXE flights ( both flight-of-fours ) up on 373.775
Not showing on any of the usual flight-trackers

Edited to add... OXE may be HAWK ( or there may be 3 flights up ).....confusion caused by the Spams being unable to speak clearly in proper English :whistle:

There's nine other former SAS 737-600s and two -700s there. I presume SAS are swapping their -600s for CRJs to improve profitability on some of the smaller routes.

Yep, think another one arrived yesterday.
All to eCube for dismantling, unless I'm mistaken.

Why do we need to know that the pilot is female?

A bit sexist isn't it?
















There's nothing wrong with that as long as she's making nice cups of tea for the Captain. :grin:

I'm more interested in how BC managed to glean that information from FR24 or PlanePlotter!

The aircraft's showing on the various tracking websites, but I'm also listening to them.
I find it makes things a lot more interesting than just posting dry old 'Aircraft X is over Y heading for Z' reports.

"Glean"

A wonderful word but not used enough these days, does anyone remember those lovely British United Airways DC-3s?

Irish Air Corps CASA 235-100 paid a flying visit to Cardiff Airport this morning, en-route to Jersey.
Probably wanted to remind us what an MPA looks like..... :whistle:

Understandable, bringing it by road would just have taken too long.... :whistle: :lol:
And as the smart ship grew,
In stature, grace and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the iceberg too....

Not everyone's cup of tea, but Jet Provost G-BWGF ( XW325 ) was up out of St Athan on an air-test earlier.

REBEL 56 out & about, currently working Cardiff for RTB Conningsby.
Typhoon, but an American pilot ( don't know if it's the same pilot reported in my previous post, given that that was a Tornado )

Well, that was interesting.....it's not very often you look through your upstairs window and see an RN Merlin going full chuff at eye-level :clap:
Altitude showing on ADS-B Exchange as 1175ft, but it sure as heck wasn't that high - knock off the first 2 numbers and that would be closer to the mark.
More, please ! :up:
