This plane looks to be noping out... the other plane no longer visible, did not see it land and the position was off... (but could be GPS jamming and they landed and turned of ADSB). Either that, or bad stuff happened. Anyway... landing at an airport under attack is no bueno. #IranWar #aviation #DXB
I wonder what happened to UAE35Q. They were landing but their position was off runway, no more signal. But, GPS has been unreliable. John Wiseman's GPS website apparently has been getting scraped by everyone to figure out where stuff is cattywompus.... This seems like a bad place to be if you are a plane, still.
Stacey Campbell@ai6yr UAE5V is heading into Iran airspace.
@stacey_campbell RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
@stacey_campbell I wonder if they were following GPS signals, but the signals jammed, and they made a bad mistake
@stacey_campbell That descent rate make one wonder what is going on there... Bad place to be.
@ai6yr It's very strange. At a minimum they'd be talking to ATC and be in radar contact. ATC could give them vectors to wherever the heck they're meant to be going. That plane originated in New York.
Chuck Darwin@cdarwin @stacey_campbell UAE35Q also unknown status. Was landing at DXB, but was not aligned with the runway, and didn't appear on the ground or anywhere else. I hope they just landed and their position no longer transmitting.
@cdarwin @stacey_campbell Randomly: don't insult Qatar if you plan on traveling there anytime in the future.
@cdarwin @stacey_campbell Hmm, that's some fancy flying for an Airbus A380... what kinda turn is that?!
Frank@ai6yr @cdarwin @stacey_campbell wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@VWDasher @cdarwin @stacey_campbell It's not on FR24... I wonder if that's a spoof and/or a US drone lol.

I am so irritated that I can't find anything on the internet anymore...
somewhere there should be a clip of Marge Simpson saying something like "and I don't want to do any loop-de-loops"

@ai6yr @cdarwin They're fairly nimble considering their size. 🙂

CNN just reported: “Air defense systems in the United Arab Emirates are currently responding to a missile threat, the kingdom’s National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority said on X.”

Yooooooo that's crazy!
@ai6yr @cdarwin @stacey_campbell
pffffft
the road we're on ?
that will probably happen in the states soon too.
(we'll finally get to meet up in person - in the gulag)

@ai6yr Wrong link. And it has been known that travelling to the UAE is best to delete all social media accounts for decades.
Proper link is https://www.khaleejtimes.com/world/mena/worldmenaus-iran-tensions-israel-strikes-tehran-live-updates-day-8#blogCardf8096bd8-f625-4e8c-b431-1a0e40610872 I believe?
@stacey_campbell These folks have decended significantly and are circling again perilously near the Iranian border. IMHO they are lost and have no clue where they are... they saw the Iranian airport on the island (a landmark) and went "OH SH**" and don't know what island it is except that it shouldn't be there. They've now descended to 10,000 feet, perhaps under cloud cover and now trying to figure out where the heck they are. Perhaps radio is being jammed too. It seems like a bad situation. Or, it's a non-existent plane? (spoofed ADSB?)
@ai6yr There was a matching ADS-B track all the way from JFK in New York. I suspect Emirates is just bringing all their aircraft home empty and gambling on them making it safely.
noodle@ai6yr @stacey_campbell I hope it landed and isn't kaput in the water....
Ryan M@ai6yr @stacey_campbell the flightradar24 track is completely different, with clear GPS jamming signs. I wonder if ADSB receivers out there are receiving/sending bogus information while FR24 is using satellite tracking @flightradar24
Flightradar24@rpmik @ai6yr @stacey_campbell GPS jamming and spoofing are affecting flights in the area making ADS-B data alone unreliable. When able, we’re using MLAT to provide a true path of the aircraft.
