1551C2 RA-86466 IL62 Russian State Transport Company. Some forums have this as Presidential entourage callsign SDM9031, but its showing on the network at CTA100A

You can't trust callsigns shown on RB or SBS. It's the radio callsign heard that is the correct one.

Having said that I notice the other IL-62 c/s is shown in RB as SDM9011.

It seems AF1 is about to depart Stanstead. Where is it going I wonder?

From the Network :-
JAF001 and JAF002 seem to be showing a route of RJTT-KADW
These are NOT in my database of routes - where is it getting these from as it looks as though they should be RJTT-EGLL.. Currently heading for the Thames??

Looks like JAF001 heading into Gatwick

ACW367 · March 31, 2009, 09:30:05 PM

Both Japans are Gatwick bound, The Russians to Stansted, the Abu Dhabi ended in Heathrow.

Regarding the JAF routes, it doesn't help that JAF is the ICAO code for JetAirFly - so heaven knows where the routes have come from!

My guess would be a USAF base like Mildenhall, both cheaper and safer. It's not a surprise that AF1 is not staying at Stansted.

JAF002 arrived at Gatwick.

E14 · March 31, 2009, 10:09:05 PM

Did not think the Japanese would have another one but I think it's for the Journalists and entourage that follow. Press Gallery next to where I live is looking nearly ready for Action tomorrow and Thursday

AF1 is scheduled to depart Stanstead on Friday morning. However, things can and do change but that is the word at the moment.

Tailwinds · April 03, 2009, 06:02:59 AM

JAF001 and JAF002 both departed Gatwick late last night. I caught both of these on the map of ANRB. AF1 departs Stanstead this morning quite early so I've read on the forum circuit.
