Flightradar24 Thread

DieselPowered · 2013-09-29 23:15:28

I can't see a thread for all things Flightradar 24 related. Can be used for unusual observations through Irish Airspace. Spotted this Pakistan Air Force Gulfstream G-450 Reg J-756 just after passing overhead. Looks like it ended up in RAF Brize Norton.

I believe there may be a Monarch taking off from Leeds Bradford in the next hour bound for Florida. Part of Ant and Dec's ITV show jetting off a load of competition winners. Doubt this is too interesting aviation wise though

Here's a list of their destinations dude

They also charter for Thomas Cook, so can get the odd different one thrown on

It was tough looking away from the Ulster game but I did it!

And yeah Monarch does some medium-long haul flights.

For those with FR24 Premium Radar, I've created two waypoint files for EICK and EINN which include VORs, for both to function properly I recommend you upload both which you can do by hitting ''Choose Files'' followed by ''Upload'' on FR24's Radar app.

After downloading please change the file extension from .txt to .wpt for you to be able to upload to FR24. If you wish to delete some of the waypoints which aren't used much (or at all) you can simply delete the line and save before changing the extension from .txt to .wpt. I also recommend downloading IRLConor's waypoint file for EIDW which is available here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=89775278&postcount=3209.

Enjoy

Who would this guy be? Seems to originate from Israel

Just catching-up with the thread; that was Gulfstream 5 N802AG of Altria.

That's the holding-company for some tobacco companies including Philip Morris.

If you check-out the livery for N802AG it is in Marlboro red and white, but otherwise very inconspicuous.

Edit: in February Altria acquired e-cigarette company Green Smoke, which has facilities in Israel. Could be the reason for that trip.

I'm guessing EI4546 is a charter for the rugby. Anyone know if it's landing in nice or toulon?

For those of you who use FlightRadar Pro's radar view, you can use the attached file to add the various waypoints around Dublin. Just rename the file so that it ends in .wpt and upload it.

It's a bit noisy, since there are a lot of points that don't get used very much but you can just delete the relevant lines from the file and re-upload it.

IRLConor/Jack1985, Thanks for this, I have been considering FR24P for some time.

Can you post some screen shots with the new waypoints for Dublin overlapped with FR24P, I would like to consider these new additions in conjunction with the Dublin Airport IFR Approaches & Holds thread.

Thanks.

Can you give a screenshot view closer to Dublin? and also one in regular mode? (rather then ATC radar).
good job.

Ok here's a closer shot to Dublin, be advised the waypoints only show in radar mode, you can't edit the regular flightradar24.com site.
