Interesting Aircraft

[ACW367]

Just had a brief hit in the north London area with Mode S 738A4A indicating Israel Mil.

Nothing on GAS or airframes.org, so no idea what this was

The mode S yahoo group has this as Israel Air Force GLF5 Nachshon 679 which according to that site visited Heathrow Royal Suite this afternoon.

Thanks for that.  I'm just north of Heathrow and picked this up in the evening, so that would tie in with its departure later in the day I'd guess.

Nice catch. Was she in England?

Yes! I'm literally smack in the middle. About 10NM from EGBE (Coventry) :)

Possibly on her way to Exeter for her annual maintenance checks.

Interesting combination still onscreen, looking North from Hexham - Tyne Valley.
2 KC135 and a DC10 Extender, been onscreen at approx FL300 for last 15 mns or so.
Probable AF1 flotilla around!!!!

Hello jgrloit

Can you tell me how you get 2 KC135 and a DC10 to show on your screen

Cheers

Now lost previous tankers, but gained a Stratotanker varient on KC135.

Looks like a large number of movements somewhere over the pond!!!

I was just watching the local input.
As I said I have a good view North from Hexham, Tyne Valley.
Normal range of view at FL370 is Beyond Glasgow on the West coast to Arbroath on East Coast.
I run with NO filters selected and watch Myflights.
I use the supplied aerial indoors, in a window, Stone Building, View mainly North.
Usually catch Civil flights as they pass Penrith, and Teeside.

Ok jgrloit

I work at Mildenhall and got worried I might just be busy this afternoon on my late shift.............lol

That lovely little Cessna 172P Shyhawk2 G-BRZS with full ADS-B is up an about at the moment showing on the map just to the west of WAL heading towards the N Wales Coast at 1,140 ft and 110 knts.

If only all light aircraft owners would fit ADS-B :-)

Excellent to see a GA aircraft using ADS-B. Lets hope thats the first of many to come.
