New Flight Radar thread - it's windy tonight

[cakeorwine]

A new thread for FR

Maybe not, looks like it's climbing

@Mojodojocasahaus they’re going to Leipzig I reckon

@loobylou10 Horrible isn’t it! It’s barely stopped today and it’s supposedly going to be like this for a few days now.

It's interesting the Leeds hold pattern goes right over LBA on the same bearing as the runway.

Cologne I presume, UPS's 2 European bases are EMA and Cologne.

Wroclaw plane is going to go around again - it's not dropped altitude at all

Yes that is unusual, at MAN they hold them in loops over the Peak District

gosh the amount of passive aggressiveness on this thread! nothing wrong with people being new to flightrader

Leeds - Alicante is climbing to 15,000

It's juts in the holding stack

It's not going around if it's at 20,000 feet, it's just circling.

There was a Ryanair flight FR555 this afternoon that was going from Manchester to Dublin and landed in France!

and changed direction! finally out of the loop

They did, yes, and now they're going round again ...

Going to Manchester?
Wrong side of the Pennines.
And the M62 will be windy tonight

alicante - leeds looks like its diverting?

Faro to EMA is heading south.

Is "going around" not synonymous with "circling"? Serious question.

Alicante into Leeds now looks like it’s diverting elsewhere

Starter for ten since I've not been following is: where did the DHL airframe originate or where is it based?....If they have diverted and fuel isn't an issue then the simplest answer for the company in terms of logistics, recrewing etc is bring it back to base or go to a main base (being DHL it's probably a freighter so the boxes won't complain).

Alicante Leeds has finally given up - climbed to 15 k and diverting.

How can you tell how many feet it is flying at please? First time watching it and am clueless.

It changed in the time I took to post that 😂

Click on the plane and it shows you the ground speed and height in feet

@mauvish I have learnt today that going around means coming down to land and deciding not to at a fairly late stage. So I guess circling is just going round at a static height.
