Interesting Aircraft

Hi tarbat,

I also have AF1 and it's supporting aircraft.

Shame AF1 is listed as Air France???

Must be heading back to the US from Olso with his Peace Prize!

There's also a US-Airforce Gulfstream C20C around (ADFDE3, S50050, 85-0050) at FL400....possibly connected to the Pres's two aircraft?

All doing their bit for Global Warming! Just shows they don't really believe it's due to mankind's piffling contribution to 'greenhouse gases'. :o)

Hi Michael the details are in my post below. The E4B was using Jade on RB and possibly State 66 was his radio call sign.

LOL,

I'm with you Tom....It's a bit ironic that the whole entourage will be back over here again soon when he comes of to the Copenhagen 'Climate Change' conference!!

Interesting for us though!!

Was also picking up AF1 on the air band...until he went 'Atlantic' after 129.100.

Hi Ken,

I tracked the lot of them on PP mlat.

On the subject of Global Warming, I never cease to be amazed how few people know that the greatest contribution to global warming is water vapour.  The yearly exchange between the oceans and atmosphere is about 90 billion tonnes. Against this massive exchange of carbon the changes contributed by humans are very small: we are adding only about 7 billion tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere each year.

Hmmm...

It's a morning for 'interesting' flights!

I have a Cessna 172 at FL339 just south of Glasgow at the moment. Seems like a mixed up code according to Airframes.org

Tom,

Is it possible to use mlat with Radarbox?...I've just found a giude on the planeplotter site and it just mentions the SBS-1.

Ken,
This American Airlines aircraft giving this miscode has been doing this for months now. You would have thought something would have been done about it by now.

Ken,

Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been out Xmas shopping.

The short answer is Yes.

To expand on that, to be a Ground Station, you need to have an SBS-1 and provide raw data to the PP network. This is used to plot non-positional aircraft. SBS-1 users who are Ground Stations do not pay the modest Mlat fee.

Anyone who purchases PP can become a Master User for a small fee. This allows you to track non-positional aircraft using mlat. You do not have to have an RB but if you have one you can upload RAW data to be shared on the PP network.

You pay only for one copy of PP but can register several PCs, laptops etc for mobile operation. I have two sharer codes which allow me to run PP/mlat on my desktop and laptop, but not at the same time.

Have a look at the COAA site here for further info:
