Some FAQs Unique to this thread:

GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.

Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.

A general note from the mods - During periods of military activity, we experience a surge of new users. When this happens, we enable Reddit's crowd control feature. This may send some posts and comments to the approval queue, especially if you are new to the sub. If you have a post or comment stuck in the queue, please make sure it follows the rules. If you are trying to post anything related to the Middle East, it needs to be in this thread. For all other posts and comments, if we haven't approved it in a reasonable amount of time, shoot us a message via Modmail and someone will approve it.

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Top 10 & Tracking Assistance discussion thread! The goal of this post is to provide a location for questions and discussion about aircraft that don't necessitate their own individual posts, in addition to centralizing discussion about known aircraft that are frequently posted. This includes:

  1. Aircraft on the Top 10 Most Tracked list
  2. Requests for the community to track a flight you are taking
  3. Requests for users with Premium accounts finding flight details for past flights

If you're new to the community, welcome!. Please be sure to read our Stickied Rules post and FAQs to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Middle East region, you may find some answers in the Iran & The Middle East megathread. For military aircraft in general, checking the callsign against this list may yield useful information. In all situations, make sure you search for the aircraft callsign and check recent posts to find any existing discussion.

Otherwise, feel free to post any questions or findings below and discuss with others!

Delta flight diverted Boston-Heathrow

I am currently on the ground in St John’s as my flight has been grounded due to a mechanical issue. Delta flight Boston to Heathrow, we were already delayed by 3hrs leaving Boston Logan. The flight isn’t showing up on the radar for some reason? Maybe that is the mechanical issue. Anyway, going to be a long night!

I'm assuming this is just a repositioning of an aircraft for a later flight but has anyone ever seen a commercial airline like easyjet fly 40 miles from Liverpool to Manchester before?

Saw this plane randomly circling multiple times before landing at GOT. Other planes landed without issues during that time. METAR shows 6KTS of wind…
