Fun mystery on ADS-B Exchange

a reply to: FredT

Glean 22, a C-130J-30 was showing -100 feet a second ago. I love when they have data anomalies like that.

Earlier tonight Team 42 and Team 48, a pair of KC-10s went heading out over the Atlantic from McGuire. Mover 45 just came back in from the Atlantic.

I think RCH106, the C-5 out of Romania, is going to meet up with RCH153, a KC-135 waiting over the UK.

There was a great article about flying near the Dead Sea, (or was it the Red Sea). They're actually like -1000 feet when they land, which makes the navigation computers blow their brains out.

Ahhh thanks, wasn't sure if he was talking about that or the SOC pilatus U-28 that had been circling for awhile near the Wolfhound. That Pilatus is a cool aircraft.

There's a Guardrail flying near Mesa.


It looked like Tahoe 03 was heading up to Fairchild, but now he's heading back down along the coast again, just offshore. Funny. Quest 72 is at the same altitude heading North, while Tahoe 03 is heading south.

Very cool. I haven't ever really played around too much on ADS-B before, only flightaware. Very addictive, like I needed something else to distract me from my studies ha

I'll spend hours on that site sitting and watching stuff buzzing around.

It looks like Quest 72 is going to join up with Tahoe 03 and take on fuel.

Ok, so RCH106 isn't meeting up with RCH153 after all. He came up out of Romania, and curved around and is landing in France it looks like.

I had mentioned that 787-8 in one of these threads a few months ago but didn't recall the name Deer. It looked like a direct flight from Shanghai to the DC area. It caught it somewhere approaching the Great Lakes...maybe around the Twin Cities...then kept an eye on it until Detroit when it started to descend. This was all with the military filter. I want to say it was at 43,000+ when I first saw it.

I think this was a week or two before the Xi Jinping visit so Zaph theorized that it may be Chinese government and military brass getting arrangements finalized, thus it was showing on the military filter.

Perhaps Trump wants to look at replacements for Air Force 1. This one seems comfy enough and perhaps the idea that the press go with him is something he will change ... so 40 seats seems about right.

And the fun picks right back up this morning. The NC-135 is up over Texas flying their racetrack.

And now they're doing things I've never seen them do before. Interesting day indeed.

Pence is over Colorado heading down towards the southwest.

RAF A400M just coasted in over Maine.

LC-130 in the air too.

What were they doing that you've never seen before mate?

Look just above your post. They've never gone up north to Oklahoma City like that before. They're usually around 25,000 feet doing the orbits over Texas, to Shreveport. This time they climbed up to over 30,000 and went north to OKC.

Tu-144 of the Russian AF is over Oregon and heading south. Open Skies?

a reply to: FredT

You mean Tu-154? If not they brought their SST back. If it's a -154 then yes.

Remember that G450 for Saudi Armed Forces Medical Services that was flying over Egypt last night? Its been busy. its now over the middle of the US.

If its a medical transport (something I have a bit of experience with) somebody is getting the best of the best

LOL must of been a Freudian slip

a reply to: FredT

Be interesting to see who is on board it.

I'm away from the computer right now. Is that A400M over New Mexico look like it's going to Phoenix or California?
