Re: Phoenix and Tucson area trip Feb 24 and request PHX 18.02.24

Don't forget that the airfield elevation of DM is 2,500ft, ie 2,500ft above sea-level. In simple terms (without getting into QFE versus QNH) The aircraft height readout will show 5,000ft (approx) as it is taking sea-level in to account. So, you will be approximately 2,500ft above the ground for the ...

Re: KC-46A

AFAIK KC-46As don't wear external data blocks which makes it even more difficult lol! This one did wear N8570Z in the tail on a sticker though.

If you use ADSB Exchange Replay, it comes up as XW199/A, over Welwyn about 7:35pm (BST).

Whether you believe military identities on ADSB is up to you, although Pumas have proven pretty reliable over the years.
XW199 was read at Luton, it diverted there due to an issue :thumb: .

Re: King’s Coronation Flypast Info 25th - 27th April & 6th May 2023

Hi All, Does anybody know if the Asda car park at Leyton Mills ( E10 5NH ), would give a reasonable view of the flypast ? The reason I ask is, my wife cannot be left at home alone, and her mobility problems mean I would have to drive, not use public transport. I live in Uxbridge , Middx. Many thank...

Re: Chance to Fly a Mosquito

That is a few bob, I might start looking down the back of the sofa. Interesting that there may well be two up and running by then.

But then again, for that price you could do Oshkosh a couple of times...etc, etc..

Re: Flyovers - Davis Monthan & Marana Storage

Actually, it is more like two weeks...Aero-tech need a copy of your passport page 'a couple of weeks' ahead of the planned trip.

Even then it is still not guaranteed that DM Air Traffic will allow an overflight.
