paulc_dj yes Lakenheath is an american base waiting for info on callsign but I think it could be from Mildenhall as all tyransporters and refuelers come from there mick2e1hzm

Do You know any good places for spotting around?
Cheers

Hi

I am only speculating , BUT , Mr Gadhaffi is very angry in the moment
especially as one of his sons was killed this night
and this was a hit against a command center , as said by the press
the attention against respons from the Libyian commander must be very high
he is both money-wise and screwed head-wise , possible to do anything against his western former friends

And why not demonstrate that we have a High - alert

Really remarkable that an aircraft involved with this level of authority in the US administration could be visible on flightradar.

Alot of strange goings on today. Earlier, on a clear sunny day in Belfast, I noticed two aircraft ( a two separate times ) in the skies above me, heading for the atlantic but not identifed on flightradar. Unusual since the most common aircraft used for transatlantic flights ( 757,767,777,747, 330,340, MD10 ETC) are all visible on fligthradar. The only explanation is that they were military. Two in one day overhead here is very unusual. Then I get this US Navy EA6, probably the most high-security of the lot , and yet it's plain for all to see !

She's up again, currently over Dundee @14:58.
Update: its going over Belfast @ 15:45

There's a fantastic thread on Radarspotters, some useful information and some of it very funny about Callsign: GOTO FMS.

Last year I ve seen it on RIAT,with tiger toy in pilot cabin.
Wondering why it's not 24hrs on duty ,refueling change of pilots crew and up and away
Would be nice,to spot him on nice blue sky

Don't know.Just typed in google RAF base near Cambridge and Wynton pop up.
One day have to go there and take some shots.

[paulc_dj]

Yeah I saw the flight path from Stuttgart, when I checked it out after it flew over my house. I think its because its the most technologically advanced bit of kit, that they can use from the air to monitor everything. Yes it was over Snowdonia, I saw it turn. Hopefully it'll be flying for one more time tomorrow though hey.

[paulc_dj]

I thought it landed at Mildenhall or Lakenheath, isn't Lakenheath a US Base?

[fl340.com]

mick2e1hzm it landed in RAF Wyton.

[fl340.com]

I thought so it might be conected with weding.FIrst time I ve seen it flying from Stuttgart or subrubs yestarday.But why US NAVY not RAF?
I trided to have my second and third chance like You,but yesterday it turned towards Cambridge over Snowdonia/Brecon Beacon.
I traced him and he landed in RAF Wyton,have hope it will be on duty tomorrow evening or early morning when athmosphere is cold and I can get a focus.
Anyway we have got bit of excitment
