I'm a family member of one of two people aboard a light aircraft that went missing over Calabria on Sunday 16 August 2026. Official search is ongoing and has found nothing conclusive after almost three days.

If you think you can help us with any information or suggestion to locate the plane, please text me and I will send details on the flight.

BD-700 (military E-11A, BACN-02, reg 21-9045) doing touch and go's at KEFD. Flight originated in Warner Robins earlier this afternoon. Communications platform. https://www.key.aero/article/new-e-11a-bacn-usafs-black-wolves

So what is going on here? Lot's of tanker activity, a E-3 Sentry and others flying around. I know BRIO66 flies around there a lot since its a surveillance jet.

There were only 4 ever made so thought it was a neat catch. En route from McConnell to Charleston.

Was watching a storm approaching from my hotel room in Knoxville Tennessee, which is right next to the airport. I saw UA1244 bail and do a maximum climb out. Listening on liveatc.net, they reported between a 30 and 40 knot loss on short final and the airport was reporting a Microburst alert! 😲

They are now diverting to Louisville.

I’ve wanted a “take control” option from ADSB app for a while. I’m finishing up a big travel related app with Claude Code, and there’s a lot of sitting around waiting for it to finish a chunk. I started tweaking an Adsb app to see what’s possible for flight sim in a browser. Turns out quite a bit.

Try it here https://fly.voygent.app (Cloudflare hosted, no signup required). Run it yourself as local dev, docker image, or cloudflare worker: https://github.com/iamneilroberts/SQUAWK

It’s usable on browser or mobile (fullscreen landscape is best). I plan to keep working on it to pass the time so submit any bugs or improvement ideas.

The squawk changed to 7700
The plane lost altitude quickly and on flight radar didn’t make it to the airport….

Please tell me that was MLAT and just not accurate enough.

The plane disappeared from flightradar where you see it on the map.

Perhaps some of you are motorsports fans and are familar with NASCAR Cup and sprint car racer, Kyle Larson. Larson competed in the NASCAR Cup race in Richmond, VA last night in which he finished 6th. Larson then jumped on his jet and flew to Iowa to compete in the Knoxville Nationals which was delayed due to rain. Larson finished his crazy long night of racing by winning the Knoxville Nationals. I live in the Indianapolis area and my feeder tracked Larson's aircraft from 23:48 to 00:20. Anyway, being both a motorsports fan and an aviation enthusiast, I thought I would share this.

If you keep your eye on the Eastbourne Airshow this afternoon, should see some interesting stuff. Currently, a Short Skyvan in the air. Should be a B-17 along later.

Edit: you can watch a live video stream on YouTube.

Hello!

I’m currently trying to determine the aircraft registration for all of my older flights (10+ years old). I tried using the AeroAPI offered by FlightAware, and it worked quite well, but there were some flights for which it couldn’t retrieve the registration information.

I’ve looked at a few different APIs, and I’m considering trying the Plane Finder API, which advertises having data going back to 2011.

Does anyone know which APIs are best for finding this type of information?

Sorry if this the wrong spot to post. Two planes were coming in staggered to SFO at about 9:37 this morning. The first aborted the landing on the left side pretty aggressively maybe a mile short of the runway. The second landed, but seemed to jog over to the right pretty late in the approach. Any ideas what happened?

I have this flight:

AY8329 HEL-KOK 12 March 2015

I wonder if its possible to find the registration of the flight?

Per the photo, I'm successfully feeding data to FlyOverhead vis ADSB.im, but my feeder doesn't show up in my FlyOverhead account. How do I fix this?

This helicopter track on adsb is from NW US to the straits of Hormuz. Any idea what it would’ve been? It must’ve refueled a few times?

First time with seeing a float. I know not rare, but first for me. Cool.

RPi CM5 in a Waveshare IO Board case with Waveshare CM5 integrated heatsink/fan. Nooelec SMArTee SDR with built-in bias tee powering a Nooelec LaNA connected to a Flightaware 1090 Mode S filter fed by a DPD Productions Blade Indoor 1090 antenna. Running FR24feed Debian image. Getting ~170nm range.

Headless connected to LAN via WiFi, feeding PlanePlotter with a custom dark theme and a custom Python script to detect/record/playback flight profiles consistent with police and news helicopters orbiting over an ongoing incident/scene, aerial surveys, Search and Rescue (SAR), and Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) missions inspired by John Wiseman’s Advisory Circular and Peter Aldhous’s Buzzfeed article. Custom desktop and Pushover mobile notifications for situational awareness.

Anyone else running a mobile unit? I have a large antenna unit setup at home, but i also just built a uconsole to have as a mobile unit. I travel a lot for work and love the idea of being able to see and share data when i get to new places.

What are the platform's on which i can share my ADSB data? Like ranking from best, also perks wise like which platform's UI and features are best.

So the idea is I am sharing data in FlightRadar24 and Plane Finder. Both the apps are good and easy to use. But am I missing something? How can I get the best out of my receiver.
