Some very interesting traffic heading to Scotland for Cop 26.

PRES101 from Aerolinas Argentinas appears to be about to land at Prestwick.

Private jet LNX29KG also en route to Glasgow.

@RutlandVasey

I can hear the Australian Plane overhead!
I can hear it now! Sadly too cloudy to see ☹️

@JamMakingWannaBe

I love that planes literally have a flight "path" and follow each other in a line. I also love the randomness of the police helicopter and log on to see what that's up to if I hear it overhead.
Keeps it all neat for the controllers. They liken it to joining a motorway on a slip road, following the other traffic, then leaving at your exit.

@BoJoSecretGF

Does anyone know why the Canadian Airforce plane is going to Rome and not to Glasgow? Have any other planes gone to Edinburgh instead?
Lots

Do you mean it’s the UAE reps flying in for COP?

Ship Finder shows shush how busy it is around out waters.

Oh man I have found my people! But I am a complete newbie, downloaded it during the lockdown when there was nothing in the sky.
We get loads of helicopters over us which don’t appear, which I am sure are royals. Or military?

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 31/10/2021 22:53

Lots of the Heads of States are staying in Edinburgh.

I just identified the aircraft. I assume for COP as it's started to descend.

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 22:55

Canada will be landing on the approach that does not go over me by the looks of it 😢, but that means neither will AF1 so I can go to bed now! Hopefully it will fly over me on takeoff 🤞

LargeProsecco · 31/10/2021 22:55

I've just heard a flight go over in Edinburgh- which is not on Flightradar24- I wonder who that citied be?!

AcrossthePond55 · 31/10/2021 22:55

I'm in the US and use 'FlightAware', normally only when someone I know is flying. But it was fascinating watching all the fire-fighting aircraft in action during our recent wildfires. The flight patterns were wild.

FelicityPike · 31/10/2021 22:56

Australia looks like it’s heading to Glasgow or Prestwick.

ReginaaPhalange · 31/10/2021 22:57

@FelicityPike was thinking that myself. Probably Glasgow as Prestwick has 2 cargo planes on approach from the Atlantic

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 22:59

I wonder if anyone is staying at Turnberry or if they are all studiously avoiding it🤣

Looks like Prestwick, Glasgow using the Eastern approach runway

Chatter on twitter is Biden is staying at gleneagles. Apparently it's been in lockdown since yesterday...

LargeProsecco · 31/10/2021 23:00

Canada about to land in Edinburgh- 3 mins away!

ReginaaPhalange · 31/10/2021 23:01

Where is the Nigerian plane going?!

JamMakingWannaBe · 31/10/2021 23:01

Just seen the Canadian plane. Thanks for this thread OP!
