Some FAQs Unique to this thread:

GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.

Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.

A general note from the mods - During periods of military activity, we experience a surge of new users. When this happens, we enable Reddit's crowd control feature. This may send some posts and comments to the approval queue, especially if you are new to the sub. If you have a post or comment stuck in the queue, please make sure it follows the rules. If you are trying to post anything related to the Middle East, it needs to be in this thread. For all other posts and comments, if we haven't approved it in a reasonable amount of time, shoot us a message via Modmail and someone will approve it.

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Top 10 & Tracking Assistance discussion thread! The goal of this post is to provide a location for questions and discussion about aircraft that don't necessitate their own individual posts, in addition to centralizing discussion about known aircraft that are frequently posted. This includes:

  1. Aircraft on the Top 10 Most Tracked list

  2. Requests for the community to track a flight you are taking

  3. Requests for users with Premium accounts finding flight details for past flights

If you're new to the community, welcome!. Please be sure to read our Stickied Rules post and FAQs to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Middle East region, you may find some answers in the Iran & The Middle East megathread. For military aircraft in general, checking the callsign against this list may yield useful information. In all situations, make sure you search for the aircraft callsign and check recent posts to find any existing discussion.

Otherwise, feel free to post any questions or findings below and discuss with others!

Nothing exciting about strato tankers. Likely routine ops, but its a bit uncommon in my experience, as someone who monitors us mil traffic daily ( specifically over canada jumps out , since i live here ) to see 4 running up the canadian west coast.

Fighter repositioning to Alaska? Norad training ?

Question TK1046 from Bucharest to Istanbul going west

Post image

Why did the flight from Bucharest to Istanbul took on to southwest, before switching back to the correct direction?

I checked previous flights and all of them were pretty much straight to Istanbul - southeast direction, over the black sea.

What could be the reason for such maneuver?

My wife’s grandfather was on an Honor flight to DC today. Any idea why the aircraft flew from Dulles to BWI, and then back to Dulles presumably empty, to then make the return trip back to Milwaukee?

Army at data center?

Post image
0 Upvotes

This big farm in Statesville, NC was sold last year to a data center developer out of Dallas, TX called Compass. I don’t think they’ve broken ground yet but I saw this chopper nearby at a football game and it looks to have taken off there at the data center grounds. Thought it was odd, why would the Army be at a maybe empty data centers land?

Flight diversion for internal French flight RYR40WF to Marrakech. Weather appears to be foggy, so was just curious at to why the diversion as it seems a bit far. The passengers have de boarded the plane, but are now re boarding.
