Yep, how high and how far west will it go before turning back?

Hi Pinza,he is out of range at the moment,but looks like the oceanic boundary,will report when back on the map.The other BA 747 at Heathrow has turned off its box,must have just been repositioning stands.

PH-BFD B744 just left EHAM to RCTP

There are indeed no passengers onboard this one. It is one of  three planes leaving for the far east this evening, before dark

Re-positioning? I wonder if the airlines are going to chance it and start getting the planes where they want them - presumably passengerless .

[Runway 31]

Frank, I would think they are trying to bring back some of the passengers stranded overseas.

Two Air France triple 7s just passed by here going north - AFR384S and AFR 382S at FL340.  Are these test flights ?

There may be some ad hoc relaxations of restrictions going on to allow airline repositioning but I doubt very much if any passengers will be permitted on board.

On the other hand perhaps passengers could be brought into southern europe - Italy/spain etc and then overland or ferry from there.

It would seem that there are moves afoot to break the embargo.

Looks like Condor are on the move, get the beach towels ready!

That's my guess too, they climbed a lot quicker than usual.
