✈️ Planes ✈️
- 2 K35R (refueling planes) out of Tampa doing a pattern copy over Raleigh
- B52 trying to stay hidden over TX
- The doomsday plane with nuclear emp defense is on the move
- Throughout the weekend an abnormal amount of US military planes flying around Taiwan. More: Taiwan has been very busy - via u/classical1
- Possible GITMO plane via u/JFKsBoatBell. Also a reminder that Biden has ordered GITMO to receive covid vaccine, so it may be transport of that. How to get started: Pick a radar: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ www.radarbox.com www.planefinder.net http://planeradar.ru/VirtualRadar/desktop.html# - additional radar! via - u/logicaloperator Or search one up yourself! Here is a source to look up various callsigns associated with the military: https://henney.com/chm/callsign.htm General info:
- A SAM flight is a Special Air Mission meaning a high level official is on the plane
- AF1 alternates between 2 different flights reg number: 82-8000 or 92-9000, but they may be flying a test flight if they aren't putting up the AF1 callsign
- VENUS indicates a training mission
- Neither Kamala or Joe Biden have stepped food on AF1 or AF2 according to our tracking Happy flying!

I noticed this one as well. Seems on the move toward Guantanamo. For what reason who knows
yeah kinda weird. left jacksonville heading to GITMO.
UC12M... Navy plane.

Also a VIP plane was just circling Florida air base and went off radar. Came from Charlottesville it looked like. I don’t understand all the plane stuff. Could be basic military routine flying but the planes today seem in mass movement around. Still baffled by the Canada one that left DC
Now GTMO has disappeared on mine. Am I the only one not seeing it anymore ?
zoom out on the map and you'll see it.

Found it thank you! Notice the two Hercules planes hauling from Ohio area?
not yet. working ATM :)
Thank you, I have added it to the main post and credited you!
Pretty good find there! I like the info window
I had two H60s fly over yesterday that didn't show up on any of the radars I could check. Not exactly notable, but it happens a lot, lately. Chinooks, as well.
In the US? We have seen an uptick of Blackhawks and Chinooks over the last week. Not sure what is going on.
Northeast Alabama.
C-130s always fuck around over Weiss Lake, It's a cool spot. But, yes, more would be the indication. The Coosa River is pretty much gonna be a Strategic Asset.
No?
So many strange call signs in the air right now. And today is the first time I have seen a Sentry in the air and now there are TWO!

Callsign: KOMODO4
Boeing E-8C Joint STARS https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae1496 Circling off the East coast of Florida, the bottom of the loop just NE of Mar-a-lago
any planefaggots find this unusual?

Hmm... the P8s have seemed to up their presence over the last week. Also interesting to see activity at Offut, it's been fairly quiet compared to normal
Also: I'll try and submit a thread early tomorrow so we don't have "look at these commercial airplanes doing what they are supposed to do!!"
Agreed. The only planes I find interesting overseas is this Those planes seem to be trying pretty hard to hide, although I feel like I saw them last week doing similar patterns. If anything, the US is much higher in military traffic and people in these threads have been reporting things they witness (live ammunition, untracked planes doing patterns over their homes, etc) that points to us ramping up military movement for some reason.
Can anyone find out if there’s something happening in the air over Montana? The only planes we EVER see here are tiny ones rarely in the summertime (tourists) and the only helicopter is a Life Flight to the hospital once in a great while- tonight after dark there was a helicopter I saw headed North and about the same time one appeared to be headed in the Northwest direction AND about 15 min. later a plane headed Northwest direction- it may be nothing but whatever’s going on is NOT NORMAL for here- around Flathead Lake area-
Planefags...what is happening with these two planes? We have a Pegasus and one other that are flying about 100 feet one below the other...

All weekend there has been an abnormal amount of US military flights by Taiwan by my own estimate via the tracking services. Hopefully we end up on the right side of history.
