I live in Northern Thailand in the takeoff flight path of CNX. Recently I've been hearing what sounds like a large widebody jet in the takeoff path from CNX. Checking Flightradar there is very little data, no details on the plane at all, and no flight route. What I could find while it was in the air is that it was from DMK (second Bangkok airport for budget and budget/international flights and the old airport for many years) and that Flightradar appeared to show the plane (on the day I caught in air) doing a touch and go, turning back and going to DMK again (about a 1 hour flight).
Today I got a good look at it, and video. It appears to be a 747-400 in old Thai Air livery (quad jet with winglets). When it took off today Flightradar only showed WDH40 and no other data in the left side detail box. The flight did not appear to be doing a touch and go today.
I am very curious why Thai is flying this large plane on this route and why Flightradar would have no data on it. No inflight data and no reference to it ever being on the ground today in the CNX airport history. Is there a way to track it? I looked up the WDH40 (I am pretty sure I got that correct) and found no references in Google to a plane or anything aviation-related. The flight took off from CNX at 3:00pm exactly and flew over my home at 3:01pm (Thai time) today (06OCT16).
I am hoping that someone knows how to track this which will quench my curiosity.
Some years ago Thai flew 747-400's on this route several times per day. This stopped about 1.5 years ago when Thai replaced them with 777-2 and 777-3 and 330's.
