Pinza the aircraft is operated by Air Atlanta for Saudia, quite common.

Pinza,

Saudi Arabian Airlines have leased from Air Atlanta Icelandic TF-ATI and TF-ATJ as well as TF-ARM and TF- AMC  the latter 2 used for freight flights. As far as I know TF-AMI was with Saudi Arabian but has since returned to Air Atlanta Icelandic unless the return has been delayed.

Thanks EKO1, rUNWAY31 and jannuh.

TF-AMI would still appear to be on lease to Saudi judging by tonight's flight!

Pinza,

further information on TF-AMI. The Libhomeradar site shows it has been active with a number of airlines recently. In October alone it has been operating for Saudi, Asiana, Cathay Pacific and Omni Aviation as well as for itself as Air Atlanta.
It would appear that it is currently again with Saudi but tomorrow - who knows ?

This has been trudging south - north over England witth full ADS-B for the last hour or so. No info on Airframes.org, and it's using the old flight ID of GB Airways.

Any ideas on what it is?

EDIT - it's just passing Edinburgh now, still at FL80

EDIT - last seen heading towards Aberdeen, presumably a helicopter!

Just picked up a Dash 8 SX-BIP (468930) on my flights at 4000 feet - not ADSB, but a quick run upstairs seemed to give the impression its just landed at EGCC as either that or a Flybe machine just went buy, but I've no FlyBe Dashes on at present

Any ideas chaps?

Cheers

Rich

Hi Rich - here's a link to Planepictures - it's an Olympic Dash-8 - 100, but what it's doing in Manchester I haven't a clue:

Don't worry chaps - it has landed EGCC

Cheers Rod  - you may see my later post - it's gone into Air Livery for some work - long way from home?

Only noticed it as it came up as "not seen" on my Aerodata RadarBox analyser

The best £15 I ever spent!

Thanks Ian,

Gosh! Perhaps not an 'interesting aircraft' in itself, but certainly has had an interesting history this month!

Cheers

Rod,
The GAS site has it as F-WJXZ an EC255LP Super Puma. Presumably on demo or delivery.
