Looks like 91-0306 has a slight technical problem?

Is that the 000001 fellow? still playing Where's Waldo with the Squawk idents.

Well you know what fighter jockeys are like

Our old mate 000001 has popped back up again and it looks like he's taken the spanner out of his transponder. Now squawking 0443 which appears to be allocated to Waddo "Special Tasks"

malc41 · May 07, 2009, 09:29:52 AM

Can you give me some details, I still have a few mates at Waddo, maybe we can pin this down

Other than the perpetually changing transponder code all I've got is ICAO:000001 and the callsign STRIKE11, there was an F15 up earlier with a similar fid: STRIK11 (mission name?). It was about for much of the afternoon (midday-3) with the freaky squawks then re-appeared around 10pm squawking 0443. Another F15 or Raptor perhaps?

I'll see if I can find out anything

tarbat · May 07, 2009, 12:42:42 PM

I can't decide whether this one is civilian or military, given the FlightID and Route!!

malc41 · May 07, 2009, 01:03:40 PM

It will be some RAF officer off on his holidays

French Airforce A310 just landed at Kinloss, with significant INS drift!!

malc41 · May 07, 2009, 01:49:51 PM

There would always be Lossie if he missed Kinloss!

Don't joke, he almost landed at Lossie!! Descended to 1400ft before taking a left turn and climbed back to 2400ft before finally descending to the Kinloss runway.

At least he's reset his INS now:

What's with all these French A310s lately?

3BFF7C reg 422 fid: CTM1080 heading South towards NANTI

Visual down here too as they are carrying ads-b so knew it was coming (sorry about heat haze)
