Anybody watching Flightradar? What would this plane be up to?

It flew over my house earlier (I was too slow to spot it) and it was LOUD.

Is it just a pilot/pilots training?

We used to get these flying over my work while doing touch and goes into Newquay/St Mawgan a few years ago. Nearly crapped myself the first time it went over, thought the nuke sirens would go off within minutes (yes I am prone to anxiety and catastrophising, why do you ask?).

Silly question but I’ve got this app, how is the best way to use it? I often see people mentioning interesting flights they have spotted on it but I don’t know how they spotted them?!

@Cloud44 ignore me if you already know this, but if you tap the screen so the search bar shows you can drag this down and it shows the most tracked flights. Took me a while to realise this so sharing just in case.

Just looked at RAF Brize Norton Facebook shows how they refuel aircraft in the sky, amazing!
Thanks for this thread.

And if you look in Lincolnshire then pan out, you can often see the typhoons in the afternoon, sometimes the tanker is circling in the North Sea. They are, well typhoon shaped so very different. They were flying later yesterday evening too.
