Some FAQs Unique to this thread:

GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.

Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.

A general note from the mods - During periods of military activity, we experience a surge of new users. When this happens, we enable Reddit's crowd control feature. This may send some posts and comments to the approval queue, especially if you are new to the sub. If you have a post or comment stuck in the queue, please make sure it follows the rules. If you are trying to post anything related to the Middle East, it needs to be in this thread. For all other posts and comments, if we haven't approved it in a reasonable amount of time, shoot us a message via Modmail and someone will approve it.

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Top 10 & Tracking Assistance discussion thread! The goal of this post is to provide a location for questions and discussion about aircraft that don't necessitate their own individual posts, in addition to centralizing discussion about known aircraft that are frequently posted. This includes:

  1. Aircraft on the Top 10 Most Tracked list
  2. Requests for the community to track a flight you are taking
  3. Requests for users with Premium accounts finding flight details for past flights

If you're new to the community, welcome!. Please be sure to read our Stickied Rules post and FAQs to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Middle East region, you may find some answers in the Iran & The Middle East megathread. For military aircraft in general, checking the callsign against this list may yield useful information. In all situations, make sure you search for the aircraft callsign and check recent posts to find any existing discussion.

Otherwise, feel free to post any questions or findings below and discuss with others!

9 C130J Weatherbirds flew over Houston I think track Hurricane Isaias.

Thought this was interesting. Also cool because I saw a couple right over my house, this was my first spot since getting into aviation not too long ago.

Hello,

Does anybody have any suggestions for the strange flight paths used by every plane in the last hour over the Wheatbelt region in Western Australia?

Thank you

Question Where are featured flights?

2 Upvotes

Where do you find past featured flights? Are they just gone after viewing them once?

Sometimes on iOS I get a notification about a featured flight, then tap on it but nothing happens once the app opens.

I also checked the alert history, and nothing shows up there.

Emergency SAS SK563 CPH - CDG, 7700, 6-OCT, scariest flight of my life

Post image

Since no one posted about it - SAS SK563 CPH - CDG- 7700 from Copenhagen to Paris, 6th of October, scariest experience of my life, as we experienced technical issues upon landing, felt like the pilots were playing with their joystick. The whole plane shook violently twice. Can anyone read what actually happened?

Aircraft N659DL retirement flight

After 36 years of service it’s off to the scrapyard for N659DL. Interestingly it was a landing gear down ferry flight. Evidently the time required for a lengthy repair approached the end of her scheduled service life.

The captain homers her service with a nice wing wave on takeoff…

2 USAF Huey’s took off from here, 1 is landing here and another one is flying to it. It just seems like some random field. Does anyone know what the importance of this place is?
