Since I found Flightradar24 about a month ago I have been contrail spotting. I am lucky enough to live where two flight paths cross over South Devon. Every cloudless day we have had contrails so it has been fairly easy to see flights as far as 60 miles away (yesterday saw two Air Transat flights that far away). Today has been 25% cloud but absolutely no contrails all day, making for very difficult spotting; especially as the radar tracks can be up to 10 miles out.
It is a nice way of passing time sitting in my armchair with the kettle well within reach.
One question; Which is the correct flight reporting number ? Is it the number shown on the map plot, or is it the flight number given at the left panel ?
