Could we have a dedicated Flight Radar thread in Fun and Games?

Could we please have a Flight Radar (or flight tracking) topic? Would probably sit well in Fun & Games.

Last night's Storm Dave shenanigans showed just how many of us are avid Flight Radar users.

No, but @BeckyAMumsnet does Wink

Ah but do I really? Do any of us exist or is this all a simulation, @BIWI? 😁

Anyway, that’s enough Easter existential navel-gazing from me. A dedicated thread sounds like a great idea - but it feels like one for users to start in Fun & games rather than a dedicated topic. Let us know your thoughts.

I think it deserves more than just a thread though. Hence the request.

I would rather it wasn't part of that forum tbh as I might have that blocked. I'm not interested in online puzzles etc but I do like reading about flight radar and the santa tracker on here. Can't it have a designated thread in Chat?

Yes!🙌

Please do this @MNHQ!
Flight tracking is a popular hobby and it would be great if it had its own topic. We'd be able to see all the threads in one place.

Yes please! Always a favourite of mine in windy weather, and when relatives are up in the air.

Squirrelchops1 · 05/04/2026 13:57

Agreed!

LargeAmericanoQuick · 05/04/2026 13:54

Would definitely follow that.

I'd love that! I love flight radar, so a thread would be great!
