    Everything taking off from Frankfurt runway 18

    A380s are the ones that don’t climb as high as all the others.

    Fun watching the plane that a friend or family member is on, en route to Johannesburg. Especially when the real-time live track ends abruptly over Libya 😉

    My thread, my rules… 😉

    You’ve got to be able to see it in order to ask the question “I wonder where they’re going”. I always did that when I was a kid watching the 747s, DC-10s etc going overhead at 30,000ft. Flippin clever internet sorts that.

    Always interesting stuff coming OTT from where I am in Belfast. Atlantic entry waypoints not far from here. Currently nothing as the morning rush has ended. Quite enjoy tuning into 129.100 and listening in.

    MLAT plotting is interesting now, and if you know where to look you can pick up some interesting military stuff.

    Was also fun watching it when there was the ash cloud from that unpronouncable Icelandic volcano.
    Some quite interesting flight patterns by the few planes circling outside the restricted zone, awaiting permission to land at LHR.

    Nearest to me is Brussels Airways BEL1SA. It always amazes me just how many aircraft are over our little island at one time!

    I’ve always wanted to know what’s moored at the mouth of the Tyne

    Its usually either the streamlined Nissan ships, or dodgy Chinese coal-laden bulk carriers bringing coals to newcastle.

    Bigger, higher, faster, more exciting destination. I win.

    Equally shitty service.

    I am in my brother in laws house in Barnes the planes landing at Heathrow go straight over his roof and put their landing lights on as they do I can’t type fast enough to give a current post. But there is a shed load of them. We sleep in the attic so I will have a full night of them bar about 4 hours. Flight radar is Fab.
