    A wee FR24 linky trick
    If you take the basic sharing-URL like

    http://fr24.com/BCS2883/5cb2ead

    and insert the date, time and playback speed ahead of the callsign

    http://fr24.com/2015-03-19/21:00/12x/BCS2883/5cb2ead

    Then it opens the flight in playback mode from that time and people can review it for 28 days, instead of the basic link vanishing when the aircraft lands.

    It's the same way the links are built within playback mode but quicker to make.

    Does anyone play around with the FR24 filters?
    Some interesting results:

    There are only x3 737-200's flying in the world right now
    (Didn't know they were still flying)
    vs
    x888 737-800's out of a total of 7800 currently airborne
    vs
    x133 737-900's

    So after 10,000 posts I think this thread probably needs a mod note with posting guidance. Nobody is breaking rules but the thread is full of people reporting the equivalent of "I saw a BMW on the M50 today".

    I think something like 70% of transatlantic traffic passes through Irish airspace every day so posts reporting A380's or 787's crossing Ireland aren't really of interest to anyone.

    I don't think it's possible to define rules on this but maybe some guidance in Post 1 makes sense ?

    Not bad, nice catch. I'm waiting for her too.

    I took this a couple of years ago in Gatwick as the BA plane I was on went past

    Not fully, generally the approach from the south for Runway 23 is to the east of me. Sometimes they fly right over the house though and if clear I can get a good shot

    It has landed in Puerto Vallarta now.
    A Canadian airline has issued a statement saying all is well aboard Westjet flight 2154 despite the fact that multiple reports had said it issued a hijack warning via it's transponder.
    The plane travelling en route from Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico has now landed safely and the pilot has been in touch with the airline by phone.
    The Mexican airforce had been alerted after the plane began to squawk transponder code 7500, a signal indicating the aircraft has been hijacked however Westjet has said all is well with the plane.
