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?
Regards
Angus

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?

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!

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