Tom or JRS or anybody - call you please tell me the Mode S or Reg of the Global HawK?

Rod

AE120F is possibly 02-2008.  It displays 022008 for a flight ID.  I logged this today.  A Global Hawk is supposed to be heading to Haiti, so this is probably it. Logged as high as 52,100ft.

Thanks or that, freq!

SU-BGU is currently using SU-BGV's code, so that's probably what you picked up.

Got a visual confirmation on the correct altitude for this one - it's just landed in Portmahomack!!

Hello

We had G-LUXE of the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements on our box today for a few hours but it didn't have ads-b so I  looked it up on google to find more information. I found 2 sites. one  that showed a log of the positions and altitudes and another with a map. they are:

for the map http://www.faam.ac.uk/public/gluxe_position/satmap.html

and the log  http://www.faam.ac.uk/public/gluxe_position/posrep.html
