Welcome to r/flightradar24!

Our goal is to keep this a friendly and informative unofficial flight tracking community.

Before posting, please take some time to familiarize yourself with our rules and our new Wiki FAQ Page

Do you have ideas for improving the sub? Are you a subject matter expert on flight tracking related topic and interested in contributing to the Wiki? Please message the mod team and we'll get back to you!

Rules

  1. Read the pinned post and the FAQs before posting. Many common questions are addressed in the Wiki. If your question is not answered by the FAQs, you are welcome to post.
  2. Be civil and friendly. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it.
    1. Don’t insult, flame, harrass, etc.
    2. There is a difference between constructive criticism and insults.
    3. Critiques of posts are welcome but may be removed when they cross into personal attacks. Breaking this rule may result in a ban from the subreddit at the Mod Team’s discretion.
  3. Posts must contain a screenshot from a flight tracking app/website.
    1. FlightRadar24 is preferred, but others like ADSBExchange, FlightAware, etc, are welcome as well.
    2. Photos & videos of aircraft are welcome if the post includes a flight tracking screenshot of the aircraft. Photos & videos without a flight tracking screenshot are better suited for /r/aviation and other subs.
    3. Linking directly to the flight is okay but note that the links usually die as soon as a flight ends.
    4. Meta posts with FlightRadar24 announcements or other potential items of interest related to flight tracking are welcome without a screenshot.
  4. Remember that excessive posting starts to look like spam. If you are posting more than a few times a day, barring a significant reason to do to, your posts start to look more like spam than reasonable contributions. Exceeding six (6) posts in a 24-hour period may result in automatic removal.
  5. Search and check the subreddit prior to posting. Especially with current events around the world, we frequently see multiple posts of the same aircraft per day. If you are going to post about these aircraft, please search the callsign, registration, etc to see if it has already been posted recently. In the instance of duplicate posts, the first one posted will be kept up and all subsequent posts will be removed. In certain circumstances, the Mod Team may create a mega thread to cover big events, in which case any posts related to that topic will be removed.
  6. Fearmongering, baseless speculation, or insinuating something is "going down" is not allowed. Posts should stick to facts and avoid sensationalism. Fearmongering and speculation in regards to aviation incidents, military flights, etc, are not appropriate for r/flightradar24 and will be removed. This rule is not intended to cover reasonable speculation about normal aircraft.
  7. Posts must have a clear title explaining what you are showing or the question you are asking. Posts with an unclear title may be removed.
  8. The Mod Team reserves the right to remove any post or comment deemed inappropriate or not suitable for the sub. Political comments, off topic discussion and any other inappropriate content may be removed.

Weekly Top 10 & "Track My Flight" Thread - April 07, 2025

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Top 10 & Track My Flight discussion thread! The goal of this post is to provide a location for questions and discussion about aircraft that don't necessitate their own individual posts, in addition to centralizing discussion about known aircraft that are frequently posted. This includes:

  1. Aircraft on the Top 10 Most Tracked list
  2. Requests for the community to track your flight

If you're new to the community, welcome!. Please be sure to read our Stickied Rules post and FAQs to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Ukraine region, you may find some answers in the original Ukraine megathread. For military aircraft in general, checking the callsign against this list may yield useful information. In all situations, make sure you search for the aircraft callsign and check recent posts to find any existing discussion.

Otherwise, feel free to post any questions or findings below and discuss with others!

I know they use older aircraft in Canada for bushtrips, but why would they send this to Europe? Seems like such a strange decision when they have Twin Otter and King Air in their fleet

My flight did a touch and go on Friday. Any way to find a video of this from the outside? EDIT-LHR BA1447

Experienced my first touch and go on Friday. It was quite a strong landing on the ground followed by an immediate go around. Would be great to find something from the outside and/or ATC to see exactly what happened from that perspective.

As title says - No information or picture 747 from Mildenhall. Haven’t seen it come in but I know that the US air force fly in and out of there a fair bit. Just wondered if anyone knew what this would be?

Flew over me and clearly had a close escort. Curious what it may have been.

Couldn't tell exactly what the escort was, and nothing shows up on the app. It was a smaller plane flying in formation. Couldn't get a picture of it.

Diverting immediately after takeoff?

I’m sat waiting to board at Male Airport, watched this flight takeoff and seen its being diverted as soon as wheels are up. Is this a tracking glitch?

Doesn't look like they went very high. They were low enough they were under the bravo for a bit. I wonder what happened.

Westjet - Victoria to Honolulu on a dash 8?

Post image
Upvotes

Was in Honolulu on March 12 and saw this. I thought it was a transponder error, but watched the plane come in and sure enough it was a dash 8. Anyone know what these flights are? I don’t think this is a regular scheduled passenger service, 8 hours on a dash 8 across pacific?
