Cool things seen on FlightRadar

[texaxile]

I’ve noticed this EVA “flight” come up regularly for the past few months. I don’t actually think EVA route into Doha, so can anyone explain what’s going on here?.

Dash8 BEE029T from Birmingham to Newquay, seen circling over Liverpool - not exactly en route!

Hope all is okay.

Not sure circling is the right phrase:

Just had a C-17 Globemaster pass overhead Farnborough at 33,000 feet. It looked like it was in civilian colours i.e. white rather than grey but on FR24 it just shows as a C-17 with no details of registration, ownership etc.

Any thoughts?

Seems unlikely, but the only C17s I've seen white were in Kuwait and Qatar, both were different patterns of light grey and white.

Interesting, haven't seen those before.

Anyone got any ideas why a perfectly normal, scheduled BA flight doesn't show up on flightradar or uk flightaware?

Ta.

For the whole flight?

Well it was a bit odd. Wife was booked on BA2732 out of LGW yesterday.

Flightradar denied all knowledge of it on the ground, then called it BA237A (once I found it in the air, by luck) - couldn't identify it as G-MEDK, and insisted G-MEDK wasn't this flight and still sitting on the ground at LGW.

Flightaware picked it up properly as BA2372 as soon as it was airborne, but blind to it on the ground.

Heard something loud going overhead a few minutes ago, so I checked FR24. Looks a bit sporty at Heathrow this afternoon!

Yesterday 2 USAF C-130s went over head, heading northwest at about 22000ft, roughly 10 mins apart or so. Today another 3 have gone over within half an hour of each other, all looking like they headed into N Ireland. Couldn't see where they came from.

Northern Ireland is a normal stopping off point for fuel before crossing the Atlantic.

2 B52s out and about, about 10.30
Did read that one was operating over the Baltic near Russian airspace.

I saw two fly over in formation and a third about two minutes behind.
