Quite right. Looks like ANRB has the wrong aircraft details :(
No, it's airliners.net with the wrong details
Yankees!
the Met police Heli (must of been a hell of a car chase to pick it up on Teesside).
Picked up XH558 (G-VLCN) on my logs today, very worried when I heard they had declared mayday but understand everything was ok in the end, landed at Cottesmore.
Got four of these FR Aviation (http://www.fraviation.com/mt.aspx) aircraft in the air at the moment, presumably in support of a training exercise by some French Navy pilots for Exercise Joint Warrior 081. The radio exchanges between the bombing range controllers and the French pilots is hilarious - "do you have facility for guns"........."pardon?".........."have you got a gun?!!!!"

Does anyone know why this Islander could be flying round the North East? It shows as Northolt station flight but has been around here since 17th June until now, always showing same callsign.
Hi
When i select Company I do not have UK Navy on the options. Am I missing something.
hello all, just to let you know I've just identified my first Typhoon, it was cruising along quite happily at 37000ft under the control of CRC Boulmer.
If anyone can fill in the blanks it would be greatly appreciated.
Picked up ASTOR4 (ZJ693) of 5(AC) Sqn out of Waddington at 43000ft on squawk 6443 (Swanwick military radar), has now moved to squawk 6401 and 44000ft. I've had this on MyFlights for about 6 hrs.
I hear that two B-2's will be stationed at Fairford this week. It will be interesting to see if anyone spots them.
Is there an exercise going on at the moment?
It is amazing !!
JA854J Japan Airlines Boeing 787-846 Dreamliner !???
Without people like you, it never would have happened.
Anyway to keep this on topic has anyone had any other contacts with the Vulcan?
and 99-0002 but www.airframes.org make no mention of the latter...plenty of pictures on the Internet though...
Do you mean 98-0002 ?
Both are using the registration 01-0041,Wonder if anyone would or could shed some light on this,as there is an entry for each individual craft. Is it the same craft using the different mode-s codes I ask myself,any theories Glyn?
Here`s one i picked up yesterday,
Its a lovely old bird,A179EC-N1944A,Douglas Dakota DC3,the U.S.model with BBMF stripes on it,Superb............
I have a Greek Mil Mig in My Log but it conflicts as it states East German Air Force-4681E4-484,This may be the one,but i`m not sure,maybe someone else caught it and can confirm the details.
Don't think that's the one Terry.
I saw it on the network and double clicked on it to find it's location and it was definitely over central Greece and showing as Polish Air Force. I've just done a quick check on the web and looked through my Photo folder and can confirm it was a MiG-17, registration 418. Almost as soon as I'd clicked on it it timed out though and I wasn't able to capture the ModeS code.
Must admit it did take me by surprise a little when I first saw it!
Anyway, done another search for info and it's a Poland Air Force PZL-Mielec Lim-5 (MiG-17F). The photo was taken on June 24th 2007 at Florennes (EBFS) Belgium when the plane was there taking part in celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the base.
I can only assume it was on its way to a display somewhere in Greece or the surrounding area. Either that or it really is tough times for the Polish Air Force and I spotted it just before the missile hit :)
I think you will find that this is a preserved, non-airworthy Lim-5. It usually lives in the Armed Forces Museum in Brussels:
http://milair.info/Picbase/v/Dbase/Europe/Poland/AirForce/Mig-17/418.jpg.html
Either it's been returned to the air, another aircraft also has the serial 418 on it, the database is wrong or the aircraft that appeared on the network was sending an incorrect ModeS. The last 2 scenarios being the most probable explanation.
It's a shame you didn't get a Mode S code so we could positively ID what you saw on the screen.
An RAF aircraft with ModeS code of 43C140 with callsign WOMBLE69 on Squawk 0031. Any ideas?

The XXH558 was on its way from Brize Norton(after fitting a new engine)home to Bruntingthorpe but there are fears due to sponsorship,that she will not fly again?
Regards Terry.
I've got this as a Reims F172K.
Reg A6-HLA Douglas DC-8-63CF, Mode-S 8960BE, Callsign DUB010. Registered to HVL - Heavylift International, built 1969.
I think you might be mistaken DaveReid. This DC-8 is usually based in the UAE, but visits ATC Lasham near Basingstoke for periodic maintenance.
surely any duplication (triplication in this case) could give rise to confusion and potentially dangerous situations?
Excuse my ignorance but how long is the NASA WB57 here for and why is it here?
A flight crew from Johnson Space Center in Houston arrived at Mildenhall on Oct. 8 to begin a monthlong operation, which involves sending a two-man team in a WB-57 aircraft to an altitude of 50,000 feet to capture the microscopic particles.

Shame Concorde's not aloft anymore, could've done the job 4x faster! :-)
Just reviewing my log & guess what's popped over the me too :)
Just picked this one up :-)
I'M UP ON THE north east coast near Sunderland, we get the VC10's but not showing callsigns, and the squawk code is different too. Could be for the ex though.
Quote from: AllocatorJust picked this one up :-)
Are you near STANTA? One flew over my house towards STANTA this morning. I understand there is an exercise on at the moment.
Tom
Just picked up a RAF VC10 squawking 1321, callsign 8GG60, code comes back as NATO air policing(air defence priority flights) any ideas what that lot means?
Just had a brief hit in the north London area with Mode S 738A4A indicating Israel Mil.
Nothing on GAS or airframes.org, so no idea what this was
The mode S yahoo group has this as Israel Air Force GLF5 Nachshon 679 which according to that site visited Heathrow Royal Suite this afternoon.
Hi Folks
Two firsts for me and I think worthy of note.
088003 5V-TGE Boeing 707-3L6B Republique of Togolaise
AA90AO N780BA Boeing 747-409(LCF) Dreamlifter.
Hope this is of use I certainly rate them as good catches.

The B-1B is about the loudest aircraft I've ever seen, the displays at Mildenhall were quite amazing in that respect.

Hi Brian, to say that you could never have heard Concorde 002 - that you could feel as much as hear!
Superb couple of photos Tom, you jammy b*gger.
Hi Brian, to say that you could never have heard Concorde 002 - that you could feel as much as hear!Great memories of a Concorde at an airshow in the early 70s doing low passes - awesome.
What about our good friend the Vulcan and English Electric Lightning,when Gaydon was operational the Vulcan was a regular visitor as too the lightning on their show day,both would shake your stomach and one could feel the friction fropm the movement of air around your ears,RAW POWER!
In the good old days inbound and outbound to EGUN used to route over LHR. Still occasionally do. Couple of years back we had a tanher and LN F15s. Last autumn the Italian Typhoons routed over here. ALso the set of B1s that went east from EGUN departed over LHR. So yep on rare occasions you can see them.
I'm located in Staines so we probably see the same stuff. An Apache flew low near me and never showed up at all.
Also at the moment I have a hex code of 000000 with a squak of 1001. Is this someone testing a Smode transmitter. Leave near Fairoaks where it is remoured they are fitting SMode to Navy and Army Lynx

400D98 G-SIRA E135 09/02/03. It's operated by Amsair (owner Alan Michael Sugar, hence the SIR-A registration)
Hi Tom spotted your location on your previous post just as i sent my reply. Nice website good looking pics. Not to worry maybe another day.
Stuart
Another interesting one - Gulfstream 550 N676RW at 26,725. Squawking 7630 but transmitting no other info. Owner is shown in airframes.org as TVPX / Stallion Acquisitions. USA reg info says 'Aircraft Type - Government'. Suspiciously like one of those MIB types.
Tom
The US Navy E6s are up and about at the moment - 4 at once, and all of them over the USA, three of them around Pax River.
Rod
Yes - he flew within 5 miles of me, FL280, at 12.30 this afternoon - it baffles me that military assets that important broadcast their position. Still, mustn't grumble!
Rod
It may be that the famous Flybe bug applies to this aircraft too
Had a contact: @ 28000 420kts Not Allocated Mode S -200007 Call sign - GOTO FMS
ADS-B Military I suspect.
Is this a standard call sign GOTO FMS? I have seen this before.
Does the HIPPY callsign tell us anything?
Rod
Thanks for that Tom,
Should have looked through the threads first,so appologies for the wasting of time,now back to the amateur foundation licence book,i`m getting too old for this radio stuff,but i`ve been hooked since 1974?
Regards Terry.
All good stuff Tom,
Many thanks for the prompt,nice to see the a/c tracked a fair distance,we need a station out in the Atlantic on a ship,then things would really happen.
Regards Terry.

On the network I have a USAF C-32A 97-0401 flying over Mongolia... no hang on, he's now over Hungary. Oops, I tell a lie, he's now north of Java. Up to their usual tricks.
The random tracks seem to be specific to RB - on SBS he was plotting normally from just E of Harlow to overhead Ghent.
I think you mean C-37A, by the way (GLF5).
Dave
Interesting flight level for an aircraft with a max altitude of 65,000 :-)

Hi Kevin,
Sorry for the late reply - shopping with the wife intervened! No, there hasn't been a curfew at Mildenhall for a long time. In fact Sunday mornings are often the busiest times.
61-2667 WC-135W is on the ground there now, so perhaps he'll be off tomorrow morning.
I'm off to watch the Rugby on TV.

This is the first time I've seen a Boeing 777 Freighter on the network:Rod,
(http://www.rbearden.toucansurf.com/B77F.jpg)
EDIT - I've been investigating, and I don't think that the code B77F (presumably from GAS) is valid - I think it should just be a B772.
EDIT AGAIN - GAS has it as a B772 - I wonder where "B77F" came from.
Rod
It's just that I like to make sure that the short names are valid ICAO codes - if you check here: www.icao.int/anb/ais/8643/index.cfm (http://www.icao.int/anb/ais/8643/index.cfm) there's no such code as B77F - GAS and Airframes.org list it as a B772, so that's what I've changed it to.
Hi there,
Just caught this A/C over N.E France:

I just saw FDX36 flying south over London towards France. Its destination was Stansted. It was at 8000ft so no idea what it was doing there?
Note to self. Be realistic when a 707 pops up....
I recorded a real 707 at lunchtime on 24th Feb. She was a 707-330B AC1DC6 N88ZL, unfortunately not ADS-B equipped. Also I quite often see a Ghanian registered DC8 freighter (044028 9G-AXB)
Hi All, Scrolling throu' the network trafic yesterday and came across VT-DNY
it populated as Boeing 707-437 of Air India (nice photo) X checked it on Airframes and the reg has been reallocated to a A320 of Air Deccan.
It was a nice bit of nostalgia while it lasted :-)
Cheers John
The KC135's are lovely to see.
But don't confuse the C-135 with the 707, they are very different aircraft.
Didn't the KC-135 enter service first as Boeing saw the problems with the Comet windows and hung fire on the passenger version until DH kindly provided them with the info.

Dassault Mirage G8 France - Air Force
01 (cn 01) One of the two prototypes of the Mirage G8 twin-engined, swing-wing fighter, on display in the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace.
I've been wondering about that also as the E3 and sentinels have been pinging on my box regularly now for the last couple of weeks. However i have good coverage over into towards Scotlland, where a lot of Military action seems to occur, and as they don't show position it's pure speculation.
John

Departing from Aberdeen airport this morning. I wonder why the US Army were in Aberdeen - probably for the Mexican president's visit (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7973320.stm).

Actually a US Army RC-12K radio spy plane.
Notice lots of antennas all over it also goes by name GUARDRAIL

Why have you censored the Egyptian Air Force C-130H ?

My 1st Mode-S Glider
405F15 G-IIOO Schleicher ASW 27-18E
Interesting - ICAO don't seem to have woken up to this type, strictly speaking it should have its own specific type designator rather than GLID as it has a sustainer engine (like the ASW-28E).
I believe as a former glider pilot that the ICAO differentiate between self launching gliders (those that can take off using the engine) and self sustaining gliders (those that the engine is not powerful enough for a take off, but will keep them airborne once they are up there). This may be the case for this type.
I hase not checked the details, but this looks like a new flight with a new aircraft, the Boeing 772LR for Air India from New York direct to Mumbai. A 14 hour flight.
I am located in the North of England.

Hi Brimon and welcome to the forum!
Sorry to put a downer on your first post, but are you sure about that? There are some old photos on Airliners.net, where the photos come from. Can you tell us the Mode-S code of the "Mig"?
Rod
Hi Brimon,
Welcome. Nice to see another user from Lanarkshire. If you need any advice or have any queries don't hesitate to inform a very helpful forum. There are also loads of threads you can plough through giving useful information.
Ian
Brimon,
I'm just along the road from you in East Kilbride and, like you, have been spotting for many years. In my case, 40 years.
I have installed in the loft a BS1100 aerial which I purchased from AOR. It came complete with 10m of coax and fittings. It has improved the range greatly. You could try their website www.aoruk.com
I'm sure others will probably have their favourites. If you check back there are several threads on the subject. Just sweeten the wife up with a bunch of flowers now and again and when she calls you for dinner be sure to show willing !
Cheers,
Ian

This one's been all over the map this afternoon. Over Antarctica, then over Australia drawing boxes on the screen, even over Scotland occasionally. Altitude of 110,000ft is interesting as well!!!

Tramline,
Seen this guy a few times. According to Airframes it is c/n 23307 a B767 with ICAO code of A98391 and now operated by Skyking Airlines but according to RB it is still coming up as belonging to Scanderberg Air.

Almost certainly this is what you were picking up:

As a new (or even an experienced) user, you're not to be blamed for being confused by the conflicting descriptions (the reasons for which are well documented in previous posts).
According to Airframes 3FAA54 relates to a VFW-Fokker CH53G (S-65) with a c/n of V65-082 and belonging to the German Army with a registration of 84+84.

If anyone (like me) was wondering what an SHS file is, here's what Google says:
The Shell Scrap Object is part of the Microsoft embed objects inside objects philosophy. Basically, what happens is that the shell script is wrapped around an object and the .SHS extension (which normally can't be seen even with extensions turned on) is added to the file. An .SHS file is really potentially quite dangerous because it can have anything executable in it along with a vast collection of dangerous script code in the wrapper. At least one worm uses the Shell Script object. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension.
Probably not a good idea to upload any more of those :-)
I have a flight showing a flight ID of A6-AAM but a registration of A6-EKN. Its modeS is 896012 which Airframes shows as A318 A6-AAM of RAK Airways.

Picked up flybe DHC8 G-FBLE enroute Birmingham - Athens. It also had to make a tech stop for a minor problem at Eastleigh so was able to log as seen when it departed via Goodwood to Athens

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?

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:

Rod
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 ?
Ian
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!

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

A possible heads up. Read in this months Air Intl. that the first AF A380 is due for its first revenue service to JFK today. Maybe a hit for those of us in the UK.

Any links to this known bug.?
I haven't got a clue when it comes to software design, but surely a 'C' is a 'C' and an '8' is an '8'
OK call me stupid, but if C=1100 and 8=1000 then why doesn't 1100=C and 1000=8

Sounds a bit unlikely - it's a long way from home, and rather high for an unpressurised aircraft.

Reportedly a Twin Otter on delivery from Viking to the Maldives.
Well, it may well be a Twin Otter but it certainly is not too high for a Beaver, the service ceiling of which, if I remember rightly, is 15,000'. I frequently flew Army Beavers at FL120 on airways in the 60's and 70's.
I also frequently flew gliders up and down the Pennines in wave in excess of 15,000'. I can't remember a 'pressurisation' switch in any of them. :o)

It's not a miscode, just hopelessly out-of-date data being returned by the AirNav server.
Twin Otter C-GNDN was destroyed in an accident in August 1996.

Good catch John - was he ADS-B?
Good to see the classic aircraft still getting around - I fear their days are numbered given the increase in pax airliner conversions now taking over traditional freight ops, however I have noticed a considerable increase in Russian built frames (An12 &26's) buzzing around UK airspace over recent weeks - long may they continue!

Nope, this is a good old clockwork Mode-S-only aeroplane, in fact I don't think I've ever logged an ADS-B-equipped DC-8.
This airframe is a pax airliner conversion too, incidentally - first delivered to United Air Lines in 1969.

These new Airfix kits are bigger than in my day !
I think I'm right in saying that BA flight numbers starting with a 9 are normally charters or one offs.
If you look at the particular flight routing against the c/s it's showing gatwick to Heathrow. On that premis, it's way off beam!
