Korean T50 flying

[Snoop55]

Flying this afternoon. Guess test flight after reassembly?

[Yammer]

whizzzing around in the Boscombe triangle - up to FL400

[reaper493]

Out of interest, was it tracking? What callsign did it use over r/t?

[mudhen15]

Heard something this afternoon, but couldn't see anything on ADSB that corresponded to a fast mover.

[Yammer]

I couldn't see it on ping but calling as EXPERT 42 ( or maybe EXPORT 42 ) on the box.

[Hellicopter44]

Expert42 up again this morning. There is also another T50 on the pan.

Don't suppose anyone's managed to ID any of these yet please? I recall the serial is only present on the data block on one side of the cockpit?!

[Gooner]

T50 just over the house on approach to Boscombe

Hi

The T50 operates Mode A only.

Usually uses the Mode 3A sqwk 6401 as allocated by ATC and can be tracked using PlanePlotter

is it really 10 Years since these guys appeared at Waddington and Fairford? I remember seeing them at Waddington.

[Snoop55]

Another one inbound 10.40 BST this morning. Yes 10 years. Time does fly by!!!

[Snoop55]

Just had 8 xT50's flying past my back window. What a lovely sight and roll on RIAT!!!

[Snoop55]

Was a short practice display.

Were they carrying out a display practice? Seems odd they don't have any notams in place.

[mikee115]

Is there any more information on there being practice displays on Monday and Tuesday next week? Tia

Presumably only 8 of the 9 will display at RIAT. Are all 9 visible at Boscombe Down and is there anything else visible at Boscombe - not been since the Seventies!
