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.

@CormoranStrike

Yes! Titan is en route from stone tonight - I think that is BoJo on this way.
Showing as Indian FCO on my app. It’s so interesting!
KingsleyShacklebolt · 31/10/2021 20:56

There's a regular BA flight taken off from Rome and heading for Glasgow too which will be BoJo I would imagine, that's not a normal route.

@YellowandGreenToBeSeen

Well, my Cairo flight seems to be doing a u-turn at 16,000 feet and heading to Carlisle!
Circling again....

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

So yes, the one on the pic posted above.

Ah, I think the Cairo fight is dumping fuel and keeping out of the way of India 1!

IvySquirrel · 31/10/2021 20:58

Just found Canada and Australia as well over the Med.

KingsleyShacklebolt · 31/10/2021 20:58

And there's no getting away from the fact these leaders like to big themselves up... INDIA1, PRES101, Titan...

OP posts:
KingsleyShacklebolt · 31/10/2021 21:00

There's also A318 appearing on the map near INDIA1 which appears to be from either Benin or Togo?

Hope they've brought their big coats.

I have found my people! Love this app but slightly disappointed that airforce one is going to Edinburgh as I would have loved to have seen that go overhead. Lots of planes today.

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 21:05

My people!

I have been listening out for AF1 all day (we live under one of the Edinburgh approaches) but I’m not staying up til midnight on the off chance!

I’m on radar.freedar.uk, which seems gives a bit more info than my freebie access Flightradar24. I watched Prince Albert fly in on the Monaco Royal family jet earlier.

Looks like the Azerbaijani plane is back on its way now, after it’s scenic trip round Carlisle🤣

@KingsleyShacklebolt

Also just seen an Israeli El Al plane land in Edinburgh - that is definitely not a regular route so must be their delegation for Cop26.
Interesting.
Aroundtheworldin80moves · 31/10/2021 21:06

I've found a GIA1...

I was wondering though, since this is a climate conference... can't the leaders share their planes with nearby countries?

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 21:07

Korean Air Force just north of Amiens, heading for the channel.

Selkiesarereal · 31/10/2021 21:08

Anyone found airforce one yet?

Serena1977 · 31/10/2021 21:08

Looks like somebody chartered a plane. Barnsley now

LuckyLucyLoot · 31/10/2021 21:08

Oo thanks for this, I'm in Kent near the Channel so will see who's flying over me.

megletthesecond · 31/10/2021 21:08

Are you finding them by clicking on various planes?

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 21:09

@KingsleyShacklebolt it’s call sign is TOGO01 so I’m presuming Togo.

Hawkins001 · 31/10/2021 21:09

@KingsleyShacklebolt

Hoping to see Airforce One or Marine One over the next couple of days - the Glasgow airport flightpath is right over my house.
I'm intrigued, keep us updated please

Security issues, first and foremost, these days you never know who's who and who's for which team ect, the show called the unit, does excellent examples of different perspectives.
viewsoftheshard · 31/10/2021 21:12

I love checking this out as well. Was puzzling over the Azerbaijan Airline from Cairo circling though. I’ve flown them a few times, very friendly staff though check in is chaotic!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 31/10/2021 21:12

@Hawkins001 I know it was a joke question Wink.

I do find people flying to climate conferences ironic though.

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 21:13

@civmilair on Twitter is giving a running commentary on incoming flights, he usually mentions when Air Force One is in our vicinity.

KingsleyShacklebolt · 31/10/2021 21:13

A lot of the smaller countries' leaders have arrived on regular commercial flights over the last couple of days, international flight into Heathrow then shuttle to Glasgow.

KingsleyShacklebolt · 31/10/2021 21:13

Togo and Azerbaijan appear to be going to Prestwick. (Cheaper)
