For mil only use U turned on. K is useful. If you click on an aircraft icon the track will show. With K on you will see a historical view of altitudes, speeds etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mode-S off. Others that appear over the U.K. with no Mode-S on are the Kuwaitis. And try following USN P-8s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Two Xingus in trail just S of us heading E. At 1430 my after lunch siesta ( having been woken twice during the night by storms ) was rudely interrupted by something fast and low which sounded like it was going to take the roof off! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Around midday I was up the road at the former RAF Hemswell when a Hughes 500 in (I think) dark green came in very low. It may even have landed on the Airfield side. It looked like it was on approach but the Hangars then obscured my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
