    I spotted this one a while ago on flight radar 24, now it has disappeared.

    Any ideas why it would make such drastic changes to its route

    Initial one is most likely a NAT reroute for whatever reason.

    The second is most likely just a computer error I wouldn't worry about it.

    Just listening to ATC, they are not sure weather they will evacuate on the Runway or not

    I was watching that 747 on Plane Finder today myself. Was wondering why it turned around.

    Had a nice view of the Air France A380 that went over on Sat past heading to JFK. The App said it was at 38000Ft but looking up it seemed t be around 28000. No visible contrails from the Engines. Nice site all the same!
