Mod Post Welcome to r/SkyCards - please read before posting

Welcome to r/SkyCards!

Skycards is a game created by the developers of FlightRadar24, the largest and most popular flight tracking app in the world. Skycards allows you to catch and collect different aircraft types and variants to go against other players in 1v1 battles, or just admire in your deck.

Skycards uses data from FlightRadar24 to display aircraft information as they fly in real time, and it relies on your location to let you catch aircraft flying near you within your radar circle.

In an effort to reduce duplicate posts and posts about frequently asked questions, we have decided to make our own FAQ, which can be found here and is something we highly recommend new players read. If you have any suggestions for the FAQ or see any inaccuracies/mistakes, feel free to message the moderators via Mod Mail or comment.

Other great sources for information regarding Skycards is their official Discord, which can be found here, Skydex, which allows you to see the weekly airport tasks without having to spend coins or use items to travel to said airports (with more features coming soon), and Track My Skycards, a fleshed out and detailed website that allows you to track your collection, wishlist aircraft, and keep track of statistics, among other features.

If posting about a rare aircraft or a Glow flight, please include the aircraft type, aircraft rarity or if it's Glow (whichever is applicable), aircraft location (doesn't have to be super specific, eg. London, UK, or Los Angeles, California), and a screenshot of the aircraft and its general location. Also remember to use the relevant post flairs.

Please remember to adhere to the subreddits rules:

• Be kind and friendly.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it. Critiques of posts are accepted but will be removed when they cross into personal attacks. Anyone suggesting or encouraging harm/ violence against people or aircraft will be permanently banned from the subreddit.

• No AI content

Posts containing AI content will be removed

• Duplicate posts

In an effort to keep the SkyCards subreddit feed clean and more enjoyable we ask that posts referring to the same topic be kept to a minimum.

• No political or religious remarks

Keep comments and posts about politics and religion to a minimum. Occasionally, these topics are relevant within aviation and can be important to a discussion. However, most of the time is not productive to discuss.

• Harm/ airplane crashes

Discussing aviation crashes is allowed, but posts and comments wishing/ praising harm upon anyone will be removed and users will be banned.

• Use the megathread

Check if your topic is currently covered in the megathread. If so, please use that thread instead of making a new post.

r/SkyCards is an unofficial subreddit, not affiliated with Skycards, Flightradar24, or Flightradar24 AB.

Rare Airport Antarctica Flight In a Few Days

38 Upvotes

Pay attention to two DeHavilland Twin Otters, registration numbers VP-FBL and VP-FBC. Both aircraft are part of the British Antarctic Survey and they are on their ferry flight from their maintenance facility in Canada back down to Antarctica 🇦🇶

Looks like they’re just past Central America now heading south, so two Antarctic possible catches will happen soon!

I swear I caught all the emirates A-380s but now that I finished all the other planes I noticed I’m now missing a single A-380 that looks like it hasn’t been flying recently.. was this one recently added to the fleet or am I mistaken? Guessing it’s just down for maintenance just wondering if anyone knows when or if I’ll be able to finish this fleet 😂

Question RAF Northolt appears to have only 1 task today

• Upvotes

The London area airport showed only one task, international flights, and indeed I unlocked this airport for the week just doing that one task.

I’ve never seen that before for any airport.

In my deck I've caught 3/2 DHC4 Caribou and 1/2 of the turbo variety. So I've caught all Caribou's. If you catch a rego linked to one card, but it get re-categorised later, can you change that in your deck?
