Whats new on FR24?

Post by TSR2 »

I know many of you use FR24 or similar and thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for anything of interest. I know from time to time some odd balls show up, so thought it might be a good place to share anything you’ve spotted which might be of interest :cpu:

It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.

Back in September, on a couple of occasions I saw 2 Canadian civil registered A4 Skyhawks heading east over the North Sea.

Also. some time before that, I noticed a Hawker Hunter over California, but I don't have a screenshot of that.

Just looking at FR24 and seeing two L-159 ALCA's (G-DKND, COUGAR61 and G-DKNF, COUGAR62), out of Teesside and at 15,000ft over the North Sea, East of Hull. I believe the L-159 is a development of the L-139 Albatross.

Hi Kevin,

I noticed one of these the other day and it was marked as private owner, but i wonder if they are actually part of the Draken training program (formerly FRA)?

I believe so, Jetphotos lists them as 'Draken Europe'.
