Paul J Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Didn't think there are any more F-86s flying in Europe. The last and most recent one was G-SABR that has gone to stateside a while back now??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish 251 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Miscoded on-board equipment on a bizjet, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgpw Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 No F-86's at Stansted, not since the Airwork hangars closed... Controllers are simple creatures and we get very excited when strange and exotic aeroplanes turn up. However, most of the time we live in perpetual disappointment as yet another 737 or 319 rattles past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Aer Lingus Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi Tony I'm trying to upload to the two grabs I took of FR24 watch this space Eamonn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgpw Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Some aircraft Mode S transponders don't respond correctly to interrogator pulses from the radar. These issues are well known and there are several specific transponders that are affected. As a result, those aircraft should have Mode A/C reporting enabled at all times. I don't use FR24 but I suspect they might use a combination of Mode S addressing and ADS-B? The latter is notoriously unreliable and very dependent on airframe fit.
