>>4701149 Dude has either attained enlightenment or vaped too much. Kind of hard to tell, actually.
I'm trying to catch up with you and understand what you are seeing.
This is not the Spain phenomenon is it?
The Spanish AF (& possibly some other countries yet unID'd?) seem to operate with a different transponder standard, making them seem to be in SoCal when they are actually across the world far away.
Good meme. I returned it to you, cleaned.
Also when you say "picked up a tail", did you check the relative altitude of the 2 planes?
Did you look up the ICAO (only data given about the phantom plane) and find out if it belongs to the Spain Air Force?
You highlighted a Chinook heavy lift chopper. How do you know what it's carrying, personnel or cargo or empty going somewhere to pick up?
Explain how a plane that is reporting its altitude as GND is "moving fast".
Do you need to visit Planefagging 101 for a refresher?
