By dumb luck when scrolling to center the view over NC, I saw this for the first time.

There are three CVNs docked in VA, Ford, Truman, and I forgot the name of the other carrier. Happened to see this today which I have never seen before. The two planes owned by Grumman seemed to be watching the T-38s and I assume the planes playing with the T-38-s we could not see.

Saw this little oddity the other day, there are a bunch of R-22s that do RWI out of Hillsboro, several of them had this trailing image that had the same n-number (minus the n). They have a slightly different profile than the single returns, anyone know what they are or have any theories?

Can the flight radar pick up hypersonic missiles being tested by the Russians & Chinese? Or are they too fast?

I believe flight radar just tracks location of aircraft based on their transponders. I wouldn’t think missiles emit the same type of data that is accessible to the general public.

I think they only pick up ADS-B out, which is why something like a DC-3 going over won't show up, but probably has a transponder, as well as an Escort 110.

Wife and I were walking along Lake Michigan this afternoon and I saw this missile launch! :ROFLMAO:

Dubai to Huston. Almost 16 hour flight.

They're pretty regular out of CHS, I loaded one of the LCFs as a charter once, pretty cool aircraft.

Before I left Evergreen Airlines, we had a couple 747-100's converted to wildfire tankers, I thought those were the coolest things ever, then the LCF came out and I was amazed again, lol
