Is he lost

#1 Post by talmacapt » Fri Dec 02, 2022 3:05 pm

Idly looking at fr24 and noticed a C17 outof Brize, RRR6696, supposedly going to PSM.

He is over the North Sea but PSM is in the US.

Is he lost?

Currently over Norway, picking up some salmon from Orland perhaps?

Interesting, a police van was seen in our road today.

The only time I have seen the police here was when there was a wolf reported in the immediate area.

Wolves have been seen locally recently and I assumed the same.

However, after Boac's remark, maybe I am not so sure.

FR24, perhaps through no fault of its own, is often very inaccurate. Forgive me if I have mentioned this before; in the handling agent's ops office at Luton, we had a big screen with FR 24 running full-time. One day I had to go out and deal with a problem on an inbound Wizzair flight. The aircraft was showing on the screen as HA-ABC, let's say, but the aircraft which came on stand was HA-ABB. I called back to the office to check what we thought the aircraft was and they said HA-ABC, and would I please check(!). the crew could off no explanation, and the cause remained a mystery.
