Some serious surveillance over Black Sea, Hawk looks busy.

I see the navy are busy tracking 2 Russian subs travelling South down the Norwegian coast.

HMS Portland with merlin choppers and the P3 Poseidons that are so often featured on this thread.

Fighter jet/jets over burry port not sure if it one doing dounoughts or lots on the 4th sighting now 5th looks like could be using harbour as a target practice

 

[monzer]

250,000 people tracking this flight.

That the one with Nancy Pellotsi on?
If so they are waiting for the Chinese to shoot it down!

I did wonder if it was her flight. Will she/won't she visit Taiwan?

 

[brocola]

I think she will. The White House seem to be distancing themselves from her to try and alleviate tensions

 

[brocola]

....while at the same time moving 9 x KC135s tankers to Okinawa...

That's a lot of refuelling capacity to shift about in one go...

Interfering stirring woman , we already have enough trouble in the world without poking another hornets nest.

Agree! Sadly down in one piece though....

 

[monzer]

Admittedly I am not fully up to speed on global geo politics but why should she not visit?

 

[brocola]

China has claimed territorial rights over Taiwan for many years since they split off, so get antsy when any high profile politicians “recognise” Taiwan’s independence

 

[brocola]

Didn’t realise Taiwan was ceded to Japan in 1895, then handed back to China after WWII. It split off again in late 1940s when the Communist revolution took place and ever since it’s status as an independent country has been debated. China says it’s just another Chinese province, whereas Taiwan say they’re an independent country.

 

[brocola]

Sounds like a right cluster fudge to me

Well she’s landed, let the games begin

If you want to catch up on Geo Politics read Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall, or The Power of Geography by the same guy. Very interesting.

4 F15s over Wales.

Love the sound they make when they go over my house on their way home most days.

Unfortunately they are always too high to see.

We are fortunate to see them over home most days going into Lakenheath but strangely not the F35's which are also based there.

Hmm, not seen an F35 on radar yet.

No I haven't seen them on radar but I have seen live the British ones out of Marham around Swaffham just not seen the US ones over my home ... they must use a different flight path to the F15's when returning to Lakenheath.

Read something the other day about Yank F35's being grounded due to faulty ejection cartridges in the Martin Baker ejector seats ?

Not just the Yank F35s. Apparently lots of others needed to be checked for the Cartridge Actuated Device problem

RAF Typhoons
German Typhoons
RAF Hawks including Red Arrows
F18 C/D Hornets
F18 D/E Super Hornets
EF-18 Growlers
T45 Goshawks (carrier version of UK Hawk trainer)
F5 tigers
T38 Talons
T6 Texans

I think some of these are now flying again, but obviously taking time to check them all

Hundreds Of Military Aircraft Grounded After Potential Defects Found In Martin Baker Ejection Seats

Don't know why they would stay visible but...

 

[monzer]

How do the alerts work on FR24? Is it possible to set an alert for when a certain aircraft type is close to where you are?

Problem is my computer at work uses vodaphone sim router so thinks I am in London and my laptop uses my 3GEE so thinks I am in England somewhere. So could I set an alert for say, when an A400 Atlas is flying over NE Scotland?

 

[Two on Tour]

Just had the Spanish version of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 overfly us.
