Some FAQs Unique to this thread:

GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.

Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.

The F-28 is quite an oldie in the FAA, and was surprised to have found it on FR24.

Research/Experimental SEIRRA AMERICAN CORP. (leasing company for federal contracts & grant funds) DC91 Planes are for?

Post image

intrigued by how planes are recycled and used

SO anyways a lot of the deals and military equipment gets leased out through shell companies owned by the government. (back door deals = more money + govt funding + partnerships/deals with allied nations and corporations)

i live by a private airport which serves as a drop/fuel station. Anyways. a lot of these planes have been shipped out to various countries for war purposes. many of the planes come from all over the country, they’re usually older fighter jets or jets in need of repair. so the US will provide these planes albeit cheaper than their worth, but in exchange for war support, it levels out compared to repair and labour costs in the US, so i can appreciate the tax breaks for us at least in that regard lol.

It’s interesting to note the condition, models, & specs for these planes.
Most of them are older like i said, however lately i’ve been seeing a lot of older DC91 cargo planes coming into the drop stations for these deals.
(again i live nearby so im always intrigued when a plane sounds unfamiliar)

Thought it was an interesting change since i’ve only noticed fighter jets prior.

so anyways curious on your guys thoughts? hahahaha.
these planes are absolute beasts but they’re on their last legs too. do you think it’s just the US providing cheap cargo planes for warcraft transport for allies? or do we think it’s more for parts and decoy set up plans?

i have 0 knowledge of any of this stuff. just observations and curiosity !

need to get off flight radar it’s starting to consume all my time, they make it so easy to track their every move so i can’t help myself especially with the state of the world currently & specifically the middle east.

conspiracy theorists always welcomed!

I’ve never seen this one before Silk Way West. After looking it up appears to be an Azerbaijani private cargo. Couldn’t find any information on what they ship though.
