I poke around on flightradar24. If you see a delta looking plane, it's usually military fighter, trainer, and the U2 appeared that way.How do you find these flights Moss?
I go onto Flghtradar and pick something interesting (large or unusual) and I'm on the free version.
We are close to Portsmouth NH where the new KC-46 is based and see and hear a lot of interesting planes in the sky but nothing shows on Flightradar.
Then I look at jets with 4 engines. Those are usually 747 freighters, or airbus A380, but also 747 military, 707 derivatives, like the KC135 tankers, the AWACS, the C17 Globemaster, the sentries.
The C130s, which are turboprop, 4 engines, but show up as 2 engine.
The long skinny 2 engine jet icons are either FedX or UPS MD-11s and such, which are really 3 engine planes, or the KC10 tankers.
It's kinda fun.
