This aircraft (Registration ZH104) has been in My Flights pretty much all day, is this a common occourance?
Would love to be able to get its position, is there anyway of doing it?

Look up in the sky!!!
It was in MyFlights for over 3 hours today, always around FL310.
-
hehe today is the first time Ive seen blue sky in a long time!
When filtering military, is it fair to say that 43* would work in the S-Mode collumn? is there a similar rule for the USAF?
-
Now replaced by ASTOR4 mode-S 43C09E ZJ693 at 43000. suspect from the coverage here in the Tyne Valley that it is in the Scottich Borders Refuel area.
The E3CF replaced a European aircraft with similar flight characteristics around midday.

I had this one today: 4D03C8, NATO05, LX-N90450, E3CF, Luxembourg - NATO, 2008/09/01 14:38:26z at FL310, but only for like 20 min. :)

43C* for Brit Mil
AE0* and some of the ADF*/AE1* for the US Mil - they've got more aeroplanes than us!

You might want to amend your database - the LX- AWACS aircraft are E3TFs rather than E3CFs.

Try ADFD*, ADFE* and AE* for your USA military - it covers all known ones I have had in 20 months......

I had a similar NATO18 online today from 13:30 to approx 18:30.
Now have 4 x Tornado F3's on screen at various heights.
From the Squark codes they are from 2 groups - 5121, 5122, 5123 and 4615.
Any ideas of problems tonight?
-
Where abouts are you based?
Are they displaying their position too?
-
UK Military Never run with mode B only Mode S.
I am 20 Miles West of Newcastle-upon Tyne, UK.

Where exactly do I amend it? I've looked around a bit in the data folder but no luck.
-
Either use the built in Database Explorer (from the File menu) and search the Aircraft table for the ModeS or Registration of the aircraft that need editing or take a copy of the NavData.db3 database from the Data folder and edit it using an external SQLite database editor.
-
NATO's E3's have started using tactical codes on Mode-S. The most recent code being 001011 seen on 2nd September from NATO19. The code is not officially allocated to any country :-(

Presumably you're referring to some of the visiting foreign C-130s (e.g. the Brazilian ones) rather than the RAF's ?
-
The E3's seem to spend alot of time around the North East and are often seen doing holds and procedures at Newcastle.
I had NATO 02 talking to Scottish Mil 'holding hands' with Fagin 24 from 2130hrs -2245hrs on 03/09/08 on the UHF. I assumed 'holding hands' to be air to air refuelling as Fagin 24 (ZD948 Tristar KC1 500). The squawk codes quoted above are Boulmer CRC and Scottish military.
-
"Holding Hands" just means that he's in formation with Fagin 24. They probably will be refuelling, or at least doing "dry runs" at some point, but not necessarily right now.
-
Thanks for that. First time I had heard that phrase used before... just thought they were good friends!
