What is the significance of this?
Seriously. I appreciate the work planefags do but when they drop a post full of planefaggotry and zero context/explanation, it leaves the rest of us, non-planefags, dismayed.
No clue, not a planefag but the border (airspace boundary?) makes it look like Mickey Mouse. Disney Pedo Island?
Refueling tracks
There’s a prison on that island that is suspected to be used to hold some of the traitors of America. It’s pretty far off the west coast of Spain so very isolated. Monkeywerx has talked about this place and has tracked flights from this island to Iceland (due north almost) where a third “gitmo-like” prison is suspected to be.
I was looking at that plane. It climbed to 35,000 feet and then went away. They must have turned off their transponder. It was a business jet.
It could simply be a lack of coverage.
On ADS-B?
Yes.
I’ve worked as an ATCO for 20+ years, 4+ as an oceanic controller. I’ve never had a/c disappearing from ADS without the pilot switching off the transponder. I work in EU though, and the satellite reception here might be better. But to lose sat connection has never happened for me in the recent years.
As far as I'm aware, the ADSB exchange relies on groups of users having an antenna and running a script to share the information and feed that information out, it may just have had no coverage in that area to adsbexchange?
That’s makes sense. ANSPs will get their ADS-data from the satellites, but this is probably data gathered from non official private antennas, with non optimal coverage. I stand corrected.
Yes I understand how you guys get it as controllers, and it's much the same principle up to satellites from the aircraft then down to the ground but it's then that it changes on to this exchange and fed outwards. The A/C will still be squawking just not seeing it with local coverage. Although it is pretty good.
Ex pilot so thanks for all the PAR's and SRA's cheers.
Military has Gulfstream and Learjet jets.
Looks like the UAE still has some activity. (Kc 135 and multiple C 130's... https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae0243
Can we get a planefags.win?
Or can we get a .fags top level domain?
q.fags? date.fags? plane.fags?
I'm new to this too! Gotta start somewhere, right NewPlaneFags?
Much better than lawfags! Cuz.eeww
Someone check near Chile. huge ass EQ
