New Flight Radar thread - it's windy tonight

[cakeorwine]

A new thread for FR

Following it. A bus from prestwick to Glasgow will now be seeming really appealing to those passengers 🤣 Safety first and all that and who cares where you land as long as you get down safe but there will be so many people with family sitting in cars waiting to pick them up at airports they aren’t even going to now 🙈

Not sure where the TUI Sharm el sheikh one is heading to. Was meant to be Glasgow.

Not surprised, the planes come in so close to the buildings there. DH used to work in one of the towers at canary wharf and he said you could sometimes see the faces of people on the aircraft!

He’s given up after a lot of looping and heading north.

Oh no another fail!

Amsterdam to Gatwick is almost at CDG

Not sure what Luton-Cork is doing, he's back out over the water, maybe it'll turn and try from another direction (if flight paths permit?)

The Sharm - Glasgow was definitely trying for Prestwick but no good. I wonder where they're heading now!

Most likely MAN, would make sense over LPL as they don't have a base there I believe.

Ooo the Sharm - Glasgow has sqawked 7700 now.

@Tumbleweed101 my bro in law is flying that plane 🙈 we thought he was heading for prestwick but then turned inland. Maybe Manchester?

porto to Gatwick has just failed to land. Not much landing at Gatwick atm- all seem to be failing then circling or giving up

Maybe Newcastle or Manchester but is the weather not pretty bad there too? Seems strange it only had one attempt at Glasgow and prestwick, particularly prestwick when there is literally no one else coming in to land there

@mauvish looks like they’re turning for another go

Yeah not surprised about City airport, I also work in Canary Wharf and they weave quite low in the tower blocks and then apparently clunk right down suddenly (according to my friend who lands there regularly!)

What does it mean? Does it mean look I haven't got fuel get me down?

How do you know when a plane has sqwaked?

London - Edinburgh seems to be having a bit of a tottering time over Edinb too.

What does squawked mean please? I have silver membership on FR but I still don't know!

It turns red

Dh and ds are on that one. I was supposed to go and collect them but luckily we decided I should just stay at home in case they were delayed

No, but it'll probably mean they need priority (no holding) when they get to wherever they are headed to.

It turns red. Or you can sign up for an account . But SharmElSheik turned red on my screen .

They've been up for while fuel could be a reason. They'll be prioritised to land over normal incoming planes wherever they are sent.

Emergency needing help I think
