Looks like Wroclaw is going to try and land at Leeds still but from a (less windy?) angle?

United States Airforce going over Hartlepool. 🤔

Probably a standard Gernany to Us flight... theres one going the other way as well. It came from Rammstein.

JustAnotherWhinger · 04/04/2026 23:46

Palma-Birmingham seems to have joined Manchester’s holding pattern so must be going there

Interested in this thread?

I also look at https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
which has slightly different info, the planes change colour by altitude, and there are more military planes visible

What are the United States airforce planes out of interest?

Too high, I think. Could be they're awaiting further instructions?

ScouseQueen · 04/04/2026 23:48

It's windy here so can't imagine Manchester is much better. But presumably better than Leeds Bradford! 🤞 to the pilots especially Amsterdam

whataballbag · 04/04/2026 23:48

I can’t find Amsterdam on the tracker now!

JustAnotherWhinger · 04/04/2026 23:48

ItsPickleRick · 04/04/2026 23:46

I thought that, it’s climbed a lot!

It’s got to be heading to a non-British airport at least now it’s at 27+

Blueuggboots · 04/04/2026 23:48

Palms to bhx looks like it’s going to Manchester now.

It's still on my FlightRadar. Heading eastwards away from Leeds.

KnitFastDieWarm · 04/04/2026 23:49

quite the queue building up for manchester - what’s the weather like there? can’t imagine it’s much better than leeds!

LadyPorkPie · 04/04/2026 23:49

Globemasters - the successor to the Hercules, so big cargo planes

feellikeanalien · 04/04/2026 23:49

There seem to be a few US Airforce planes around.

It's just landed at Birmingham at 23:48. This is so exciting! I'm fully awake now!

LargeAmericanoQuick · 04/04/2026 23:50

This sounds like an interesting hobby. I don't live near an airport though, so wouldn't know what to watch.

Mumofyellows · 04/04/2026 23:50

Amsterdam is off elsewhere completely it seems, what a nightmare. Wonder why it didn’t land further north? The Ryanair isn’t having much luck at Leeds either.

Was that not Gran Canaria?

The Palma one is holding at Manchester

HardyFox · 04/04/2026 23:51

25 miles south of Leeds Bradford and the wind here is definitely dropping, nowhere near as strong as an hour ago.

IAmKerplunk · 04/04/2026 23:51

Antalya to Edinburgh landed - next one up the one diverted from Newcastle
