Interesting Aircraft

Have G-DDHJ on screen at 18000 feet, good for a glider at this time of night.  ;-)

Dave, how many messages have you received? If you have received more than 50 (better 100) in a row, it's a good chance that it is indeed the glider. Otherwise I would say that it was caused by several received corrupted data packets of another airframe.

Just flying around in my area the SOFIA NASA/DLR B74S

Unfortunately it's not ADS-B equipped.

Just in case of interest, about SOFIA: http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10465/706_read-264/

Not interesting in itself but not often you see KC10's plotting.  BOBBY61 AE021F 85-0027 McDonnell Douglas KC-10A Extender c/n 48232/402 accompanied by non-plotting Bobby62 KC-135R taking 8 Lakenheath F-15's to Nevada for Red Flag exercises.

BOBBY71 also plotting and coming up over Yorkshire this time as well.  It is accompanied by KC135R non plotting BOBBY72 and 6 X F15 http://www.rb24.com/BOBBY71

Iv'e picked up 2  KC10's now, I believe there is an exercise underway to fit all USAF "heavies" with ADS-B, that's a lot of aircraft to fit before 2020 !!!   

Seems odd that I have seen more USAF plotting than Flybee's  !!

That will be good Oliver, the more the merrier.

Is this right?

[Runway 31]

Yes Dave that's what my d/b gives it as, I think they will be COD flights to/from Yeovilton to/from the carrier.

USS Theodore Roosevelt, along with the USS Winston S Churchill, due into Stokes Bay and Portsmouth respectively, on Sunday 22nd until the 27th
