USN P-8s Inbound

[SamP]

Looks like at least a couple of US Navy P-8s are heading for Lossie, the first is tracking on ADS-B using tac code AE683D descending through 20,000ft North of Aberdeen, the second is using AE686F and currently at FL300 overhead Innsbruck on the same routing, around 2 hours out.

I don't suppose you know which one landed at approx 1520 with code AE686F by any chance? I saw it over my house in descent for Lossie.

Niall,
Sighted a USN P8 over Forres at 1450. Any idea which one that was?

Never saw any of them Niall but your more accurate than doppler radar LOL keep up the good work , chow DD

[SamP]

Can anyone confirm what I believe is the 4th USN P-8 to arrive at Lossie, landing today around 15:25 using tactical Mode-S AE6893 from Sigonella?

[SamP]

Just seen Niall’s post in the Heads Up section

Frame swap at Lossie. 168853 arrived and 169334 has just departed Lossie for Sig. Callsign was Sword 40

169334 has departed using its correct Mode-S code AE5C60

Thanks Niall!

[SamP]

Potentially another different P-8 inbound? Tac Mode-S Code AE6893 approaching Aberdeen descending, looks like it's come out of Nordholz

[np1991]

169546, departing back to Nordholtz soon

Thanks Niall
