Hi Alan,
Wonder If ‘The Team’ has come across a similar mix up to this little lot before and whether it can be sorted out in the relevant databases.
Picked up Flight RSF 605, a Saudi Airforce C130H , Mode S 71025B, going into Warton yesterday.
Airframes has 71025B as RSAF 473 which appears to be correct.
On screen, the Mode S Country and Country flag were correct but the reg was 5207,
In the Photo Panel the airline was showing as ’Germany – Airforce’, and the photo was of AN-26 5207.
Perhaps not the right thread for this but just a couple of questions which perhaps someone can explain:-
Why and how would the wrong registration for 71025B show on the RadarBox screen and in MyLog?
How does RadarBox determine that GAF 5207 is the photo and description to show in the panel when it doesn’t correspond to the Mode S code?
Would it not be better to tie details to the Mode S code rather than a registration as suggested before?
Regards
Syd
