Well it looks like the sole An-225 has been destroyed in the Ukraine. It was the largest aircraft in the world until the Russians blew it up (according to reports).  FCKPUTIN I thought that plane got destroyed cos I saw it in bits on the news. What's your picture saying? Its fake and its still flying?  |

It's fake, Thor. It managed to show up on FR24 for a short period of time. Who put it on there or how they managed to do it, nobody knows.
My guess is someone at FR24 has got a sense of humour.

Couple of US F-15's heading East over Poland at the moment. Also a Czech fighter plane in Czechia.
3 other fighter planes over Germany. 2 Canadian and 1 US.
I'd really like to see a B52 over the Kremlin.
Time to fire up that Vulcan Bomber at Southend Airport. I've been in that, bit cramped.

Another RAF C-17 delivering ‘goodies to Poland for the Ukrainians. This is a daily occurrence. Quite an airlift from many nations going into Rzeszow. To the north west is an American tanker flying around in circles.  The point being that there is a lot going on behind the scenes that isn’t shown on the news. |

I very nearly clicked on one of those planes.
An AN-124 Landed in Rzeszow from Leipzig earlier today. They should of flown all of their aircraft out of Ukraine early doors.
I'm still wondering what all the fighter jet activity was all about. Getting ready just in case d'ya suppose?

Antonov Airlines is the Ukrainian outsized cargo operator, no doubt delivering goodies. Loads of activity on the Ukrainian and Belarusian borders, tankers, surveillance and transport aircraft.  They’ve got their transponders on as they want the world to know they’re there. Makes you think what is also going on that they don’t want to us to know about. For thirty years at least. |

Strangely I use both Flightradar24 and planefinder and you can get different results from both.

I didn't know about "different results", d'ya mean height, speed, that kind of thing? This morning there was an emergency 7700 squawk on a BA flight from Heathrow to Cologne (I think). It was varying in height, done a couple of circles over Kent then returned to Heathrow. 30 years? |

A young lady asked me at work the other day if she could send some parcels to Moscow.
I wasn't suren if this was allowed but my colleague said she is super hot and I'm sure its fine.

Just heard on the news that a Cessna Citation business jet crashed into the sea off Latvia. It was flying from Jerez to Cologne before going off course. NATO jets were scrambled to intercept it but reported it was unresponsive and there was no one in the cockpit. The crew incapacitated by carbon monoxide perhaps.
Bizarrely earlier this week to Air France pilots got suspended for having a punch up on the flight deck and before that both pilots of an Ethiopian jet fell asleep and overflew their destination.
