Planefag checking in with a 'WTFH went on in Europe today' Edition. here are the highlights that I caught.
Iffy 2-prefix planes in the air: 2-GOLF flew from Leeds Bradford to Jersey, then Jersey to Teeside, then back tro Leeds. Owned by M Team Ltd, a Polish couple but the company is c/o Laconica Ltd (seems legit, rollseyes)
Also 2-AVCO, 2-WOOD and 2-MSTG in the air - lots of poeple possibly worried about money?
German Air Force GAF866 (Airbus 15+02) had an interesting day, to say the least. Cologne to Aalborg, Denmark, then down to the French coast at Brest where it dropped off ADS-B for a little while (<5000ft) then climbed again and headed for Bordeaux, where it did a touch and go. It then headed towards Paris, then veered off East towards Strasbourg and Karlsruhe, before following the Rhine River to Rastatt/Ottendorf, when another touch and go happened. It headed SSE along the French border, then turned NE towards heidelberg and Wiesbaden, then it flew on to Cologne and landed. Maybe landing was refused in France..?
NAF46 - Netherlands Air Force (T-264) flew down Europe then turned East, until I lost if leaving Greek airspace near Cyprus. I also lost it temporarily over Switzerland, it may have landed at Geneva for a short while.
Irish Air Corps IRL258 flew from Sweden towards Switzerland, but was possible refused landing clearance at Zurich and it turned NW and headed towards home.
Algerian Air Force 7t-WHD was seen over Lichtenstein (Innsbrueck) headed South.
Germany was a WTF thing all day. Possible drones with call signs POISON1, POISON2 and EAGLET near Augsburg/ Stuttgart, three aircraft call signs JUDGE 1 to JUDGE 3 near Gustrow, two GAF Typhoons call signs FALCON1 and FALCON 2 over Gustrow, as well as USN Gulfstream CATBIRD1 and another plane, VALOR11 near Freiburg.
CATBRD1 flew down Europe and kept on past Rome and on towards Malta. I lost if after that because work.
The Turkish Air Force (TUAF250 - Airbus 400M) flew up Europe to the French coast, then turned around and flew home again.
I couldn't keep up with all of the plane activity, it was mental. I hope that this makes some sort of sense, I'm still trying to work out why GAF8866 was apparently denied landing permission in France.
