Yes, it was glorious! Sunset lighting-up the yellow tail. I decided to stand and watch instead of running in for the camera.

Looks like Prestwick?

jasT1981 · « **Reply #186 on:** July 19, 2014, 11:10:50 PM »

Yea, it looked to be on course to Shannon for a few minutes.

Apparently FR24 went crazy tonight and had half of Spanish air traffic showing as declaring emergancy.

TCX49 · « **Reply #187 on:** July 19, 2014, 11:15:09 PM »

Yea Flightradar24 has been playing up the past few days.

Edit: Not Prestwick by the looks of it

jasT1981 · « **Reply #188 on:** July 19, 2014, 11:24:58 PM »

Does Prestwick close down at night?

Looks to have flown past it though according to twitter it was advised but wants to return to Germany.

edit - "problem not urgent" according to pilot

jasT1981 · « **Reply #189 on:** July 20, 2014, 12:11:50 AM »

Single engine failure apparently

Thanks for the updates!

Odd ICAO designator, I thought to myself today watching an ATR-72 pass over as STK3832.

Ahh - Aer Arann are no more on the radio waves. Now STK / STOBART

Any idea on what the 'blocked' aircraft is currently at 41,000ft just about to head over Tyrone? Came from Allentown PA in America

smudge · « **Reply #194 on:** August 12, 2014, 08:51:09 PM »

It was a Gulfstream - one sec and I'll check which one.

GIV N342AP ~~belonging to~~ operated by http://www.airproducts.com/, descending as it headed east.

Technically I suppose it belongs to their bank

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #195 on:** August 12, 2014, 08:52:58 PM »

Looks like it`s going to Durham Tees Valley.

jasT1981 · « **Reply #196 on:** August 12, 2014, 08:57:34 PM »

thanks, why do some aircraft appear as 'blocked'?

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #197 on:** August 12, 2014, 08:58:08 PM »

There is another "blocked" aircraft currently east OTT Wrexham,which looked like it came out from Durham Tees Valley,on a heading of 180 now on FR24.

Usually by operator request, so that their rivals can't deduce their strategy by watching where their 'planes go.

For example there was an Altria biz-jet that flew all the way from New York to Tel Aviv last year and the next day Altria announced they were purchasing an Israeli e-cigarette company. That sort of advance notice can be very useful to traders, and they do track flights where possible
