  1. Hmm. That's the second time today that a large aircraft has flow over my house at low level (well, loud enough to be Bloody Obvious). This time I checked a couple of flight tracking websites immediately, and there's nothing shown nearby.

    Heading north, I think, over the west side of Reading.

    Wonder what it was?

  17. Wait a second! This dude actually has a girl friend? Does she know? :-) That is the real story here!

    The head of the FBI’s critical incident response group (a 27 year veteran) was told he could resign instantly or be fired after flight schedules and tail tracking information for one of the FBI's private jets was public. The flight info detailed FBI Director Kash Patel's use of the private jet to go on a date night with his girlfriend. Jet tracking data is fully in the public domain.

  25. When Matt Kennard's #investigativejournalism piece was originally published, I was confused what the story was: a #US military contractor flying from #Cyprus? The reworked version & this interview👇🏽 clarifies what the real story is: The #UK & its #MOD is subcontracting #military intelligence work on #Gaza to a US firm, making UK involvement (#complicity?) in #Palestine much hard to see, not least because #flighttracking is not possible anymore (unless caught!).

  26. I did a fresh install of #dump1090 yesterday on one of my #ArchLinux PCs.

    There is an improved version in the AUR, but it didn't compile, so I made some small changes by hand.

    It is amazing what distances you can cover with a small passive TV antenna and a ~10y old TV stick...

  29. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, which is mostly nice, but sometimes, it's nice to be able to look up and spot an occasional jumbo jet freighter in the sky, and know it left Zurich ten hours ago, and will be landing in San Francisco in a hour. It makes me feel more connected to the world.

  31. It's always interesting when you open a flight tracker and see a plane doing something STRANGE. This 787 from Boeing Field, Seattle currently looping around out there, specifically right off my coast. A Boeing test flight of some sort, I would guess?

  33. (1/2) On Flightrader 24 watched a light-twin cargo aircraft likely with a single pilot take of on a 20 minute flight from Portland to Salem OR, leaving an hour-twenty late, fly around for an hour or more, all over like he was sightseeing, fly over Salem airport several times, maybe doing touch-and-go, but not stopping, fly a less than direct course back to Portland, fly over downtown, land, and taxi back to his terminal. WTF?
