do any flights go over arctic/antarctic areas? i have yet to see any

or would this be due to lack of radar contributors in that area?

I notice that he used the G4 and not the Learjet. This really is a big deal, isn't it?

It's uncanny.

At least the jet left for home (probably needed for some more Ministerial... renditioning) otherwise it too could end up getting switched.

Yes, you'll find quite a few US-Asia flights go 'over the top'. There's a lot of extra considerations for suitable ETOPS alternates (if a twin), higher exposures to cosmic radiation (due lower tropopause levels), overflight permissions and so on. I have a friend in Cathay who sometimes goes over the North Pole and often posts spectacular pictures of the Aurora. Emirates also sometimes does the Polar routes to go to west coast US.

You probably won't be able to track these flights on Flightradar as the website relies on ground stations to receive the broadcasts from the aircraft. And due to the remoteness of these areas, the chances of having a FR24 receiver with an internet connection is pretty rare!

Can't be often there's an Air New Zealand plane over Ireland.

Nearly every day. ANZ2 and 1 fly AKL-LAX-LHR and back. Currently B777-300. The other route is AKL-HKG-LHR or I should say the HKG-LHR is with Cathay Pacific

Any updates on the other current receivers in Ireland? We must know some of them by now?

L1011

Its not a real radar, appears to be an estimation system based on heading and speed.

T-EICK2 is one to add to the list.
