I think it’s all the proper rich guys “working from home” Grin

JulietTango · 24/03/2020 20:01

Anyone looking at flight radar at the moment?
Why do we have an RAF plane circling just off East Anglia?

elshajd · 24/03/2020 20:03

I am now, thanks for the heads up. They do exercises in the North Sea at times.

elshajd · 24/03/2020 20:17

Meant to say, it's a refueling tanker so there are probably other military planes out there on exercise with it but FR24 doesn't tend to show those.

JulietTango · 24/03/2020 20:29

That makes sense. Thank you

@JulietTango it's drawing a massive cock im an attempt to raise national morale.

Triglesoffy · 24/03/2020 20:36

Have you googled the Strava cocks @artisanbreadbin?

ArtisanBreadBin · 24/03/2020 20:42

@Triglesoffy no! If I ever get a day off work, I will do just that!! Grin

JulietTango · 24/03/2020 20:54

@ArtisanBreadBin so it is. It seems to be off back to Brize Norton now

It has been known before on these threads - last year I think there was a plane that did that.

Never seen a drone on FR24 before.

@MissSkate it looks as though it's a "migration control" drone bbc link

When I was looking at FR last night, flights over everywhere but the US were few and far between, while in the US it seemed to be business as usual. Do they not have travel restrictions? If not, no wonder the virus is spreading like mad over there.

JulietTango · 25/03/2020 12:17

Are they internal flights?

Trump has said it'll be business as usual by Easter

JulietTango · 25/03/2020 12:18

Qantas has bypassed Singapore totally and is stopping in Darwin on the way to Sydney

playthestation · 25/03/2020 12:53

The Antonov 225 is doing a test flight right now

UR82060

playthestation · 25/03/2020 12:58

It's not flown for around 18 months!

BiddyPop · 25/03/2020 13:27

I have been too busy with actual work to look at Flight Radar for a while so haven't participated in this chat before. The skies are a lot quieter alright!

But can I ask the experts, why are most planes yellow but some are blue? I don't remember seeing blue ones before...

titchy · 25/03/2020 13:32

Blue is I think where a satellite is tracking the plane rather than air traffic control centres.

Grandmi · 25/03/2020 13:34

Biddypop I was wondering that a few days ago !!

BiddyPop · 25/03/2020 13:46

Thanks Titchy!

MissSkate · 25/03/2020 14:06

Ahh thanks @MamehaSan!

OhMsBeliever · 26/03/2020 09:14

I live right by Gatwick and it's so eerily quiet.

I was looking on flight radar to see if there was much air traffic about and saw this drone. Never seen one before on flight radar.

Wow... I've never seen a drone on FR24 before.

midnightstar66 · 26/03/2020 10:21

There has been a massive amount of helicopters- Aberdeen airport yesterday looked like flies swarming something. Wonder what they are all doing?!
