Not Very Busy....

...up there at the moment

I'm struggling to find a handful of planes up there ,on Flightradar24

[Buenchico]

Most forms of public transport are still largely deserted (or simply non-operational) at the moment, Bazile. That certainly applies to trains around here:

(I used to work at one of those stations and I've seen passengers ten-deep on platforms trying to crowd onto rush-hour trains. It's certainly not like that at the minute!)

Yep

[Bazile]

You'd think that a few more cargo planes would be up there

[237SJ]

Most cargo comes into the Uk via passenger aircraft. It is still up there but greatly diminished.

[Bazile]

Yes , but I'm talking worldwide not just into the Uk

[albaqwerty]

I find there's more cargo planes up there from about 22.30 onwards, Fedex, dhl, ups etc etc.
There was a plethora of helicopters buzzing into and out of Aberdeen to somewhere in the North Sea a couple of days ago.
There's been a couple of RAF airyplanes leaving pretty trails as they practise their aborted landings at various airports too.
We had a Globetrotter on Friday (I think it was yesterday, might have been Thursday) 3 times, one was a touch and go, pretty impressive stuff up close.

@ 20:58 I don't know what else you expect really.

Check out FedX and UPS hubs in America. Then you’ll see how many aircraft there are.
I live below flight paths for N & S America. Spain Portugal etc.

Not seen any here this morning, I'm under the flight path for the USA, Canada etc. but they could be above the cloud.

[theshedman]

I live close to the flight paths of N America, Spain, Portugal etc and have noticed a much reduced number of flights. What I have noticed on Flight Radar24 though is a lot more military flights on there and many Super Guppy type flights mostly originating from Toulouse. These stand out as the shape of the aircraft is much wider.

[Prudie]

Well it's busy today, it looks like every private plane in the south of England is up there!

[sherrardk]

I’ve gotten quite obsessed with this site, amazes me how many helicopters there are.
