Cool things seen on FlightRadar

Seems a long way out for a paramotor.

Seems pretty speedy for a paramotor too....but very silly at that altitude and the 1 engine

It’s a UAV.

Been following G-FPLD on it's return from the Falkland Islands. Recently landed back at base of Teesside Airport. Quite a trip for a small twin

I believe that’s the airfield calibrator aircraft. We used to a bit with a DA42 in the Middle East, they were long trips!

Just had a Gazelle fly over the house:

Plenty of Police vehicles as well as the obvious fire trucks attending this diverted flight from Newcastle to Cape Verde

How strange - the same thing happened to the same flight back in February.

Not a cool thing seen on FlightRadar as such, but a cool aggregator of ADS-B data that you can query:


ASD-B Exposed

There are a quite a few loops over the North Sea. I wonder if they're looking for ships / subs.

JGSAW94 @ 475ft directly above our paddock and so quiet the ponies never batted an eylid

Where in the country are you? I'm pretty sure there was one based at Compton Abbas that was owned by the then airfield owner (now owned by Guy Ritchie).

[LotusOmega375D]

He’s come out of Bagington (Coventry), done a loop round East Northants where I am and is now seemingly heading back to Coventry.

This was out & about at the same time as the Dove

It is, operated by Thales. You'd think they'd be able to find someone a little closer to do the calibration though . . . Best part of a week each way, calibration and probably two pilots. Costly trip.

Watched this do an approach and then disappear.

Pair of high-flying RAF Typhoons heading into Black Sea area, presumably from Cyprus.

Most likely escorting a R135
