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.

No, @Hawkins001 I think the World Leaders thing is Monday/Tuesday and then they leave their minions to carry on negotiating for the rest of it.

Looks like it took off from Casement Aerodrome (love that word) which is a military airbase.

I guess there’s a motorcade going east up the M8 as the police plane is now doing loops not to outstrip vehicles on the ground, plus the RAF are in the air.

@BrennieGirl

Is that Airforce One?
No, it’s a C-40 ( basically a military 737)

If look at the bottom of the screen snapshot you’ll see it using a “SAM…” callsign which means it is one of the US VVIP fleet but isn’t carrying anyone massively important.

notimagain · 01/11/2021 20:16

I should qualify that pointing out saying by “massively important” I meant not POTUS or the VP…it could well be carrying other senior officials.

HadEnoughOfBears · 01/11/2021 20:25

Allycat3 is overhead again here plus the police plane
Assume Biden is travelling along the M8 towards Edinburgh

HadEnoughOfBears · 01/11/2021 20:35

Trying to work out where that helicopter is going. It's hanging around the A71

HadEnoughOfBears · 01/11/2021 20:37

Ooh! Dalmahoy!

@HadEnoughOfBears

Ooh! Dalmahoy!
That makes sense.

My mum said there was a few delegates staying at Norton House in Edinburgh too. No idea who.

CormoranStrike · 01/11/2021 20:43

Someone’s definitely staying at Dalmahoy

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 01/11/2021 20:45

RAF Helicopter being accompanied by National Air Police. Charles and Camilla?

HadEnoughOfBears · 01/11/2021 20:47

So that Allycat3 RAF helicopter was the one which followed Biden's cavalcade west earlier and it's just come back along the M8 eastbound and circled above Dalmahoy for a good 10 minutes as did the police plane. So do we assume it's Biden staying there?
Makes sense to be tucked away there and not in the city centre?

NigelSlatersXmasTaters · 01/11/2021 20:48

Yeah, looks that way. Love Dalmahoy

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 01/11/2021 20:48

That makes sense @HadEnoughOfBears

CormoranStrike · 01/11/2021 20:51

Dalmahoy would make a lot of sense - easier to totally isolate and block all approaches etc, compared to a city centre space.

userxx · 01/11/2021 20:51

Something very loud just flew over Manchester, looked like Turkish Air Force.

Yellow85 · 01/11/2021 20:53

Yeah Biden is at Dalmahoy. Spotted Obama today over at Balloch

They are. My brothers friend goes to the gym there and just messaged my brother to say the security is WILD.
Nat6999 · 01/11/2021 21:05

I'm always noseying when I hear planes & helicopters go over my home, I love flight Radar.

SourMilkGhyll · 01/11/2021 21:07

@CormoranStrike brilliant photos, thanks for sharing.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 21:29

I need to be careful what I say, as don't want to put anyone, but boris is at gleneagles

[quote Philandbill]**@CormoranStrike* and @Williamshatnershorses* thank you for making a great thread even better. Grin[/quote]
Thank you - it’s been such a fun thread/day! Praying for an easterly wind for departure because I’ll be able to wave at it from my kitchen😂

A friend flew into Edinburgh tonight and the pilot pointed out Air Force One as they got onto their stand!

Much appreciated, does Boris know his information for the conference, or is it ear piece type fed information ?
