People in the comments on that post are saying it’s standard procedure to fly those E6-B Mercury planes wherever the President’s health is in danger so it would be odd if they weren’t flying!
For those who don’t know, these planes can launch America’s nuclear arsenal, communicate with the submarines, etc.

Whilst an A320 is not that cool, it's a little bit intriguing. What could be going on here?

This flight path looks like some of mine on fs2020 when battling the autopilot!

TAP Mustang squawking 7700 over Murcia in Spain. Done a quick 180 and down from FL350+ to FL120 now.

Landed safe and went direct to the Cessna service centre at Valencia so must have been technical issues probably with no pax I assume.

Anyone know any background on this?

Looks like a privately owned L39 jet trainer?

[HM-2]

Quick google brings up Mayzus Aerobatic Jet Team.

New to all this looks like Jet2 Glasgow to Krakow has diverted to Leeds unless its just RTB.

Seems they have an unusual method of financing running an aerobatic Jet :-)

Recently arrived and based at Hangar 3 Blackpool.

Usually flown by an ex Warton test pilot based at the airfield from a company called high G.

High G have a variety of aircraft Chipmunks Bulldog Strikemaster......not sure what their involvement is with the L39.

An American C130 returning to the UK from the top of Norway, I think it set off from Cardiff airport yesterday a strange airport for a military aircraft when they have there own runways in the UK.

Building x on the map.

I grew up next to Knapton Granary in the Vale of Pickering - was absolutely brilliant as we had fast jets all the time flying overhead using it is a target/nav point! Still, my favourite was the A-10s we use to get!

A F15, maybe more heading over Scotland with two tanker aircraft.

Maybe these new arrivals.

Cavok AN12s were going into Liverpool regularly for a spell last year, think they were carrying car parts for JLR.

The last two 747s with BA on the way to be broken up, a sad day.

[Dashnine]

The BA400 last 747 flight to Kemble is still holding prior to landing, I assumed burning off fuel from min take off to max landing weight, but the St Athan BA747 went straight in. Any ideas?

Weather in Kemble.

The take off weight would be well under max landing weight.
