Flightradar is showing the Martin WB57 Canberra (N927NA) which is up for the SpaceX launch.

I have to say, I did smile when I saw it was a Canberra chase plane. Presumably from USAF Luton.

I don't know why, but it gives me a weird feeling of British pride to see it flying.

There is currently a USAF WC-135R Constant Phoenix sniffing around off the coast of Kaliningrad

Let’s all hope it doesn’t smell anything!

I noticed they occasionally go round the top of Norway/Finland as well.

Presume that's ship/submarine tracking though, unless it's been to check the possible buildup of Russian troops near Finland.

Isn't that the nuclear detection variant?

The BBMF Lancaster is up and about over Lincs at the moment, glorious day for the sound of some Merlins.

Thanks, they must be evacuating their citizens as well as their diplomats unlike the UK

Interesting that they're flying them our of Jordan, Amman's over 1000 miles from Khartoum. Is it considered safer to use a local carrier to get them from Sudan to Jordan?

When I click on individual aircraft on ADS-B I'm no longer getting the 'trail' to see where they flew from.
Have I managed to change a setting somehow?

[Penrhyn]

I have the same issue.

It's working again now.

Thank god, the lack of trails annoyed me to the extent that I actually did some work earlier

RAF Hercules out of Khartoum. Is it a practice flight for the evacuation of UK citizens?

[Scaleybrat]

Coronation fly past practice?
