Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
I can hear a jet flying very high, Although is a perfect day I cant see it. Its going up and down the coast around Warton to Blackpool for an hour now. Probably a Eurofighter.
Re: Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
It's on FR24, call-sign is WTN69.
This season, I'll be mostly wearing........A THONG!
Re: Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
Well it was a Grey Eurofighter with weapons onboard, Its just landed now at BAE Warton. Saturday Flights getting more frequent now. I'm to far away from getting a plain number.

O thanks, I'm not sure what you're numbers mean sorry.Mike wrote:It's on FR24, call-sign is WTN69.
Re: Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
FR24 is flightRadar 24- one of the virtual radar sites that are really handy for identifying planes. Personally I prefer to use ADSB Exchange as it catches a lot more of the military stuff, at least in the non-subscription form. Planeplotter is another one.
Recommend checking them out.
WTN69 would be the abbreviated callsign the plane was using- presumably Warton69 in full.

Re: Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
Your right in saying ADSB catches more military traffic,but Tarnish 69 on Saturday was'nt showing up on adsb,but was showing up on FR24 for some reason.Rory76 wrote:FR24 is flightRadar 24- one of the virtual radar sites that are really handy for identifying planes.

Interesting- I'll pull up FR24 if I can't find things on ADSB Exchange!

It was showing on 360Radar also
Re: Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
Well half what I said was accurate anyway. Lol
Re: Jet patrolling north west coastal sky's Now
It was ZK303 Typhoon, visually conformed by myself when it landed at Warton, it has a miscoded transponder giving out "BC614E" which until now was a mystery.
