Just departed

[Reach 392]

According to a post on a FB group, its going to Prestwick.

180 turn near Derby - at 11.40 talking with Brize inbound - assume an issue

[Reach 392]

Landed at Brize at 1153. ZM403 also returning to Brize now so perhaps an airframe change...

[Yammer]

15.50 ASCOT 4500 is up and away again from Brize - pinging again as ZM406 so assume rectified.

[Reach 392]

Binned off the planned stopover at Prestwick and going direct onto its subsequent destination as no need to take on more fuel out of Brize...next stop may well be Bangor or Ottawa going by previous flights like this!

Routed into Macdonald Cartier airport,Ottawa

From Ottawa,routed into Andrews.....now departed there westbound

Looks like it possibly went into Belize???

Looks like it possibly went into Belize???

Looking at its track on FR24, I'd say Cancun Intl (MMUN). Looks like this will be on an absolutely hoofing tour of South America.

One of those multi destination trips!.....picked it up on Adsb out of Ottawa and followed it into JB Andrews, where it was only on the ground for 30-40 mins. Out of there,initially headed west, before turning south. Last I was able to track it,it was southbound over Florida,somewhere south of Tampa. Initially thought it was Belize bound, but could possibly be anywhere down that way!

Some intel I found on Twitter/FB yesterday...apparently it was due to route Cancun-Mexico City but returned back to Cancun with technical issues. 406 is having quite a rough week.

Engine failure.Sending a replacement aircraft.

It seems to have roared into life again and now en-route to Mexico City.
