Just crossing Northwest Scotland, West bound PR-BRW Ryan Int. B763 FL340 Hex E47EF6 obviously using old code. Routing KAEX/CYQX/EDDP.

I've got it as RYN532, routing EDDP to KLSF according to FD7.5.

It went eastbound over Lincs/Norfolk yesterday, also as RYN532 !

It is N637TW of Ryan Intl with its old Brazilian miscode. It crosses UK every few days on US Military charters.

300359 I-AIGH B762 of Air Italy (Flt No AEY12) just departed BFS heading west.
Probably a military charter as it's not transmitting position

I've logged it on 96 occasions since June 2008 and it hasn't once transmitted position. 

I guess it doesn't have ADS-B  :-)

Hello

We have Just had the A225 in range of our aerial at around 2pm BST (no ADS-B but must have been in UK airspace) it was displaying ABB399F as a flight ID but it would actually be ADB399F. I just thought I would point it out in case anyone wanted to know it was about.

Hello

Just thought I'd share our strange experience with the forum. We have just had a Ryan International N764RD going over here. When we first picked it up it had flight id CMB502 but at around 50 miles from our home it changed it flight id to RYN7768.

Is in-flight flight id/callsign changes more common than we realise and if so would this not be rather confusing for ATC etc.

I didn't notice that, but my guess is that it was heading towards Europe rather than heading westbound.

I think it's been mentioned on the forum before that US military charters are not universally welcomed as such, and chartered aircraft sometimes change from their "official" military ID's (Reach, or these days, Camber) to their less-controversial "civvie" identities to pacify countries they are overflying or visiting.

Hello Rod

It was actually on a heading of 302 so heading from Europe.
We looked on flightaware and his routing is from Leipzig to Chicago Rockford.

So much for that theory, then, unless Iceland's turned against the USA!

Into Luton tonight is new Hong Kong CL60 B-LOL hex 780A09  Flight ID CD626

Hello

One for us around here to look for. G-NNCY is landing at Edinburgh with ADS-B which is a CHC Scotia super puma on delivery presumably to Aberdeen. So far the only helicopters at aberdeen with the ads-b have been Bristows   so It will be interesting to see another company with one at Aberdeen.
