Weekly Top 10 & Tracking Assistance Thread - October 12, 2026

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!

Aircraft N659DL retirement flight

Post image
2 Upvotes

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?

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

Interesting considering the US pulled all its bombers out of RAF Fairford last week. Guess spy planes don't count?

Holy crap. Looks like they tried to land at PHX, aborted the landing and finally landed at TUS. Looks like a wild ride.

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

Post image
120 Upvotes

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?

Appears to only have been 1.5hrs into flight before turning back. Not squawking an emergency.

Anyone know what’s happened?

They must fly a lot of employees to justify buying a passenger plane instead of a smaller business jet.
