Cool things seen on FlightRadar

[Skyrocket21]

Air Force One has just popped back up on ADS-B Exchange.

[LotusOmega375D]

Time to scramble the Lakenheath F15s?

[RobbyJ]

Looks like the are going to fly straight over my house. It's been clear skies all day, now thick low base, FFS!!!

[LotusOmega375D]

AF1 seems to be following the same 757 flight path.

[RobbyJ]

The 757 went about 10 miles north of me, would easily have seen it. Sooooo annoying! Damn clouds.

Air Force 1 within 10 miles, couldn’t even hear it. Certainly no F15 escort

[LotusOmega375D]

No F15s, but Commander Bond is escorting The President in aboard Little Nellie.

Mildenhall
Is it Mildenhall or Lakenheath theyre going to close?

[tonyvid]

I saw it from the garden as it turned towards Mildenhall, a few miles away but glinting away in the binos...cool.

Just had this rather unusual beast fly over me!

Anyone know anything about this beast? Flew over the house yesterday at about 1,000ft and looked like it stopped in at Halfpenny Green Airport having come up from the south east coast.

Same thing overflew us at the weekend too...was stunned to see an ex-Soviet Navy helo bumbling overhead!

Flying over east Kent yesterday and today, apparently helping to lift pylons into place. Was funny to see it fly by with a huge cable trailing behind

Not only that, it was refitting the antenna structure and covers to Emley Moor mast

ZT645 (Boris' jet) is on the ground at Newquay, with this...



...P-8A Poseidon wandering about the area. That's got to be part of the security effort, surely? Or just the RAF sending aircraft to train in the area for the deterrent effect?

ETA:

US 'press corps' inbound from Washington to Newquay?



I doubt Delta Airlines has a regular scheduled A330-300 service from the US capital to a coastal holiday town in Cornwall.
Odd that it seems to have flown two loops out over the ocean though...

Edited by yellowjack on Wednesday 9th June 15:16

Not sure if in jest or not but the loops is a hold, I expect Newquay is quite busy with traffic for the next few days so aircraft will likely be held.

Mildenhall was due to close next year but that’s been stopped.

E4B Nightwatch on the move now too, possibly heading towards the UK?

Just heading towards Cornwall/North Devon now, looks like routing up Bristol Channel

[The Brummie]

747 E4B Doomsday inbound Mildenhall.

[LotusOmega375D]

757 is on the move again from Mildenhall

Is this definitely going to Mildenhall or somewhere on the Continent?

[towser44]

AF1 up from Mildenhall too

[LotusOmega375D]

Who’s going where?

[towser44]

Oooo, AF1 turning and heading towards me!
