Just picked up G-BRZS C172P with a mode-s?

Height and speed look good for this type of aircraft.

Just thought it unusual for with the mode-s capability

It belongs to the YP flying group and is based at Blackpool. It's been ADS-B equipped for a good 18 months now and I pick it up regularly - even done a logo for it!

Hi Rod. You have much gen. Any idea where the F27 VH-EWP was going? 7C1767

RodBearden · May 22, 2010, 10:54:32 AM

Gosh - hadn't even noticed it til I looked in MyLog!

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue!

Here is another light with mode-s. 403F3A G-NPKZ Vans rv6. In the Doncaster area. Glad they are using it, makes things interesting.

I think G-BRZS must have had long-range tanks fitted, and possibly a rocket pack - it's currently over Kansas City according to my RadarBox.

I bet they think they're currently over Britain - bit of a navigation error there ;-)

I told him to turn right onto the M62 NOT left. Pilots who'd be one?
