DH just suggested looking up flight GTI747, it's on FR, and fairly special alright

Clearly got some time to kill or some fuel to burn 😀

I'd be feeling a bit sick onboard with those tight corners

megletthesecond · 01/02/2023 19:02

Oooo, clever, what's the occasion? First or last flight of that type?

TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 01/02/2023 19:02

Oh my. How awesome. I read earlier that the last one ever was shipped off the production line.

Cudz · 01/02/2023 19:02

Love this! I pretend I have FR downloaded for my son but secretly I love it myself!

Cool

Do you have a link?

redspottedmug · 01/02/2023 19:07

Will it have enough fuel to get to Cincinnati with that diversion?

Do you have a link?

Paste the flight number into FR

Oh that's pretty cool.

BiddyPop · 01/02/2023 19:10

Yes last one off the line on its delivery flight so probably no or special VIP passengers only

I’ve found it but how do I see what it’s doing?

AdventFridgeOfShame · 01/02/2023 19:13

Click on the plane and it will show the flight path

AzureOrchid · 01/02/2023 19:13

That’s cool , wonder who approved it ? Seems a colossal waste of fuel though 🤣

AdventFridgeOfShame · 01/02/2023 19:15

It is a planned flight path

Has it flown so it spells 747? That's brilliant.

SlipperySlope99 · 01/02/2023 19:17

Thanks

AzureOrchid · 01/02/2023 19:18

Do you think they program that 747 shape into the auto pilot …
Cant see the pilots swinging the steering column round doing those turns 🤣

Nel1975 · 01/02/2023 19:22

Love it. Thanks for sharing.

BasilParsley · 01/02/2023 19:24

Really interesting flight path - the crown included (homage to it's knickname as queen of the skies) and the 747 numbers

Here's the screenshot
