Cool, never caught an 340 AEW before

There is also a grippen up now in the same area

and two TACAMO planes up

F-18F and F-35 up now. You seldom see fighters show up over the CONUS

Its new enough that ADS-B exchange does not have a silhouette and just shows blank on the info section. It says USAF but does not specifically say 'A" model either. Im not getting a track but both appear to be around Pensacola

Two P-51's up too

The c130 was the H model which is one of 2 in their inventory

Us Navy E6 " SHADO33 " is now over SW England.

Edit : typical, just as I was typing this he was heading SSW , then turned his transponder off over Cornwall.
Strange route it was taking though. It came from Stuttgart, up and over England ( I guess to up fuel ) then headed SSW

Always. An F-15SA is up over the CONUS

Looks like the Voyagers and A400's are getting a workout helping the Caribbean colonies

Sweden has one of their s102 Korpin (ELINT) birds up

ConAir has one of their Saabs up

Holy water injection batman: NASA has their DC-8 up over SoCal

As a total airplane noob ( just find them fascinating ) i like that website for spotting and exploring

Although you can select military planes in air.. Selecting a region and watching what is flying over is also fun.

I'm learning as well; when i spotted a "Rytheon" i was excited, and expecting a high tech rarety experimental inertia driven Antarctica shuttle.. My ATS fed mind did associate Raytheon with exotic research, weaponry and Antartical bases. Mea Culpa.

Anyway, happy virtual spotting .

I caught the Japanese air force 747 47C up over Japan.

And a RAF Typhoon playing with a RAF Air seeker in the UK and over CONUS I saw a an RAF River Joint.
