Cool things seen on FlightRadar

Not normal to see the RAF over the black sea with their transponder on.

It's becoming quite the norm actually. There was one a few days ago, when it was reported that Ukrainian successfully hit a target with several Russian top commanders near Kherson...

Yes that's what I meant, it was just out of range on ADSB exchange when I looked. They just don't show details on FR24 anymore.

With the rise of ADSBexchange I don't know why FR24 bother blocking stuff anymore. On this plus side if I look at FR24 and see something like a 737 or A320 that just shows type I'm straight onto ADSBexchange to see if it's a BBJ or ACJ so FR24 is almost helpful.

I think FR24 blocks any aircraft the owner or operator requests.

Some countries still have some old fashioned laws about sharing radio broadcasts etc associated with aviation so FR24 steers the safe course and tries to keep every operator happy.

Just had to look on FlightRadar to see why a BAE 146 just flew low over Pembroke, G-Luxe and FAAM on the tail.

Turns out to be a Met plane out of Exeter

Similar plane, or maybe the same, flies out of Cranfield occasionally. Quite a distinctive sound it makes.

All quiet on the Western Front? Nothing military showing on ADS-B West of Ukraine.

IIRC they're widely used for things like skydiving.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster PA474, putting on a show for RAF Coningsby, not showing on Flight Radar.

[Penrhyn]

Belgian Military aircraft has taken off from Moscow of all places.

[andyA700]

The Lancaster is in the air right now, around the Grantham area and I have had a nice 1.500 foot pass over our house by the twin seat Spitfire from Biggin Hill - G-AWGB.

Something going on with this Jet2 737

They are getting more brave, normally that little Heli Drone stays much nearer the coast.
