This might be a stupid question but does anyone know how to change the way flight numbers are displayed on aircraft labels if you click on them?

For example; EI209 is showing as EIN20X (ICAO I think). I'd prefer it to actually display as EI209 (IATA?)

The IATA codes aren't sent in the ADS-B data in the first place.

You'll only see the scheduled call-sign for the flight (Which will be ICAO), guessing the EI one's aren't too hard all the same, usually the first two numbers of the flight and a letter.

Anyone know how long OY-CIR has been operating for Stobart Air? Haven't seen it around Dublin yet! http://www.flightradar24.com/REA85DR/3c3a8d0

Flight numbers ( the IATA thingmies ) ironically don't really make sense for an aircraft in flight, they are references to a contract to convey between a minimum of two points. Not even guaranteed to be conveyed by aircraft.

Lufthansa and Air France have some flight numbers that apply to trains!

Indeed! Aéronavale E-2 Hawkeye. Well spotted.

Any idea where that Hawkeye originated?

I'll trade you one in LTN which sees them get up and bank? You can hear them come up out of nowhere. What do you mean that's not an attractive swap?!

I'm actually ~6 miles south of city centre, (and ~1/4 mile west of the flight paths - handy for looking out the window at them). Nearer would be fun to see them lower down, though I suppose it would get a bit annoying eventually :pac:

Theres a BAE 125 Hawker 1000 doing some odd flying just off the northern tip of Ireland at the moment.

Yeah, does anybody have an idea why this plane would have flew out over north Donegal a couple of times last night?
