=Getting Started with Planefagging==

ADS-B Exchange - learn how to use the filters

Radarbox - flight scanning

Flightaware - very useful for flight histories and arrivals lists

Flightradar24 - flight scanning

You also need to be able to spot unusual patterns, things that 'don't look right' against the backdrop. It's a skill you can develop and eventually you develop a 'usual suspects list' that KAF R1 has that we watch.

German Air Force, swiss Air Force and French Air Farce aren't to be trusted. 2-reg planes are 'wheelmen' for the wealthy, such as Spros as they can't travel via normal routes. 2-reg planes are 'military' and can bypass some customs checks (hint).

ATC Live can be useful if you know a happening is going on around an airport. Listening to the Tower can provide insight.

Anything else, just ask. Kekistan Recon 1 can always use new recruits.

More Planefagging Stuff

Helicopters (helos) - groups of helos, particularly Medevac or Mercy Flight ones, should attract attention. This may indicate arrests or renditions, as Q etc. won't use military helos for that as a Black Hawk gets the wrong sort of attention and freaks the straights. Someone from a Medevac helo that "Wants to take you to a place of safety" doesn't attract so much suspicion.

Tankers, Poseidons, Nightwatches and Mercurys all mean something militayr is going on. Fighters don't usually squawk on ADS-B, they only have IFF (although an F-15 called DARK21 did squawk in the UK a few times around Christmas).

It's all in the patterns and follow your instincts.

Her being sucked out of the window and partially blocking it probably saved the plane from explosive decompression. Sad but true, as it bought time for the pilot to get down to aroind angels 10 where oxygen masks aren't needed.

Serious question: why do the Swiss need an Air Force? They have been neutral in lots of conflicts (and profited from wars as a result = Rothschilds).

Simple answer is that they don't need one. All they need is a military jet that doesn't need to go through Customs or Immigration. A 'touch and go' in a country is enough to say they have arrived.

There's quite a bit of traffic over there right now. Tankers, Galaxy and Huron patrol aircraft.

Planefagging - Part 3

If you see something that activates your almonds, 'Tag and bag' it. Take a screenshot in Paint or similar and save it. Post it here if you think it's really worth sharing.

Don't feel ashamed to ask for Planefag help either, we want to get to 24/7 coverage if we can. I spend way too much time planefagging already and could use more cadets.

They don't have ADS-B transponders fitted. They usually have IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) instead. Fighters may not want to be tracked…

No military traffic over Nepal or anywhere close to it.

Flight JAI264 seems to be the one, flew a pattern near Kathmandu then was diverted. Indian Air Force Antonov in the air now.

Swiss Air Force are over the Atlantic and are about 3 hours out of St. Johns at current speed.

My guess is that JAI264 hasn't got an emergency as there are lots of airports it could have landed at if that were so. It's been turned back for a reason.
