Why are these planes over Spain ? What takes them there for what reason.

Realized why l had not noticed the B52 , it’s because the aircraft image they displayed just looks like a B737.

They were displayed as in picture below. Hopefully someone on here can tell ADS-B to correct it. I don’t have sufficient privileges to put on their forum.

B-52 - Noble31 - 60-0026 - Heading North from Moron AB again - Hoping for clear skies if he comes over here again today

I’m guessing you meant 747, not 737 as there is clearly no comparison with the B52.

B-52 - external fuel tanks differentiates it from B747 and A380


B747 - ADSB appear to have differentiated the image with the raked wingtips


A380 - for comparison

Scalybrat l was referring to a post by brummie.

That shows an image on the map which l have put a yellow circle around is not unlike a B737. Hopefully makes more sense

This has been in and out of Fleetlands a few times this morning, for wiper blades and screen wash no doubt… Now looks to be headed west and away.

Two of these skimming the top of my house a few minutes ago! Lovely stuff!

2 x B52s NOBLE31 and NOBLE32 they went up to Norway where the tracking disappeared. A little while later they came back across the UK heading for their base in Spain.

The Cessna can be hired for aerial photography so likely that.
