Strange Flight.

[webbo3]

didn't know to post this but im watching a flight on flight radar 24 and it took off?, because thats where the trace starts from Tennessee, flew n/e over Canada and is now heading for Iceland, its height is 45k ft but there is no name/carrier or destination to or from, what can it be. ?

Oooh yeah, I see it. 'Blocked'. Airforce 1 maybe?

[webbo3]

Its a bit odd Zacs, it seemed to take off from nowhere.

[mazie]

That altitude's a bit high for commercial aircraft

[webbo3]

this is near where it took off.

Losing height rapidly now.

[webbo3]

its gone from 45k to 25k since I started watchin, could be landing in Iceland.

There's a blue drop pin on the island of vestmanneyjar. Seems to be the destination.

[webbo3]

theres one on each airport.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah yes. Now I see that. Doh!

[webbo3]

lol.

This is almost as exciting as watching Norad Santa tracker.

[Mamyalynne]

Trump Tracker eh?

[webbo3]

i thought airforce 1 had escorts, or wouldn't they show up.?

[-Talbot-]

You would think they would give it a bogus flight number.

[webbo3]

It would make more sense, like a cargo flight or something.

[Zacs-Master]

Military aircraft hangers to western side of where it's just landed. Strange.

[webbo3]

a quiet part of the airport, I remember about 30 years a Gorbachev landed at Bristol airport just as me and my mates came back from a lads holiday, we had to sit on the plane until he had been whisked off.

[Buenchico]

It's probably just a private jet.

No disrespect boys, but is this pastime similar to train spotting in the past ?
