Noticed this last week, altitude appeared high and speed low, about the same as a UAV, wonder if they are using other aircrafts information when transiting.

C17s don't travel particularly fast.

No but they don't normally fly at 50000 ft max is 45000 ft, why would a large transport be up there ?

If you watch the Vegas area around 9pm UK time you can usually spot at least 2 737s flying as an "airline" with a females first name. They actually sometimes have the " " in the name LOL They usually turn their transponders on/off around Indian Springs.

Also some UK assets out there at the moment.

Was lying in bed this morning and I heard what sounded like a twin prop something or other circling around. As it was 0445 I thought, "I'll check that on Flight Radar when I get up". I got up with the wife and I couldn't see anything.

Then she put the tumble dryer on for another load after having a load in on a timer overnight.

Bearing sounds a bit buggered!

Very loud. At that time of night, being quiet, sounded a lot lower than 10000.

Departed Beirut. Destination unknown.





Why have the flight details, usually shown on the left, disappeared?

Settings have not changed so what’s going on?
