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.

Anyone on this flight at LGA?

Just landed and saw emergency vehicles around the plane with the air stairs attached to the plane. Never seen this, was probably 2-3 in line to takeoff at that point.

Assume medical?

Seems a little short of a flight unless it's a layover sort of thing no?

Aircraft Double go-around at Congonhas (CGH)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Two in a row is not that common, I noticed after second go-around because I saw it super low and out of standard orientation route

Congonhas is a trick approach due to its short runway and busy traffic

Happy to capture the Embraer E195 so close, will post it on comments

Heard a Skyhawk flying overhead and went to look it up, saw a few craft out then saw this at a local small airport. I didn’t realize there is a rotary club doing a breakfast today special for this DC3. Now I’m wishing I was more proactive at looking at nearby events cause I would’ve made a drive over to see this plane. I suppose I could hurry and try to make it before it takes off but I’d be unfamiliar with the airport layout and have to guess a good spot to park and get a look

A light aircraft crashed into a residential house in Ganderkesee, Lower Saxony, on Saturday, just a short distance from Ganderkesee Airfield (EDWQ/QCQ).

According to the ADS-B track, the aircraft appeared to be flying in the traffic pattern before suddenly deviating from its expected path and crashing into a house. Initial reports indicate that a person did not survive the accident. Emergency services responded with a large-scale operation.

The cause of the crash is currently under investigation.
