Question regarding 7th January?

[Unknown74]

Hi all just wondered if anyone knew what was going on Last Tuesday 7th January? I got home from an appointment to see on FR24 that there was a C-17 Globemaster BLACKCAT 53 (ZZ174) in the near area, So got myself to my lounge from where I can see Edinburgh 24 Approach and right enough there was the C-17 heading Eastbound over the Forth Area and here was me hoping it was about to do an approach unfortunately it did not. Was it heading to Leuchars or Lossie?

Things got better shortly afterwards when LOSSIE 12 ZK372 Typhoon FGR.4 called up for a PD Approach which made the day a lot better…..

Was it heading to Leuchars or Lossie?

ADSB tracking suggests it went to Leuchars then Prestwick (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=43 ... rackLabels).

(As a hopefully helpful note for trying to find these things on ADSB Exchange, 1. Find and copy a HEX Code from searching for the aircraft's page in FlightRadar24 or elsewhere (e.g. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/zz174). 2. Paste that HEX Code into the end of the ADSB Exchange link: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=______ 3. Use the History option on the left of the screen to select that date you're after - Well, that's the way I do it, someone else might know a better way).

Or, indeed, ZZ174 is mentioned in this Leuchars thread as performing "Single approach then Circuits" that day - viewtopic.php?f=75&t=250566.

Hope that helps .

Not the first time someone has tried to help the OP with trackers etc. I have more than once but seems to fall on deaf ears (or unseeing eyes).

It was at Leuchars first for a few circuits before it headed to Prestwick then back along near Edinburgh. Leuchars thread has the info
