Airbus A380

Been tracking my tracker from Flightradar24.  Due to arrive via TNT on or about the 16th.
Interesting to see how much traffic happens over the US in a 24 hour period.  In the video at 0:37 there is a big plane heading NE right by El Paso.  That is Qantas Flight 7 from Sydney to Dallas.  It passes there every day at about noon.

I followed it into Dallas when it landed using the 3D view in the software.  78,100,72,T,0

Situational awareness...

While playing around yesterday with the flight website, I found that you can apply to get a free "Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast" (ADS-B) receiver.  There are thousands of them all over the planet to help keep track of airline traffic.  The instructions stated that it usually take up to 30 days to make a decision on an application.  They sent me an email a couple of hours after my initial contact asking me to fill out step two in the process...giving a little more info about my location and photos of where the antenna would be placed as well as my views north-south-east-west.  This morning I was notified that my application was approved and they will be mailing the receiver to me in about a week.  That was fast'n'easy.  I imagine I am definitely in an area where they lack coverage.  86,92,68,0,B

Plane Spotting

For the third time in the last couple of months I have noticed a plane turning high above TFL.  Today I had plenty of time to figure it out as it made 4 passes overhead (at 40,000 ft. and traveling over 700 mph.).  The red dot on the flight path image is The Field Lab.  Turns out it was Rolls Royce Boeing 747-200 N787RR out of Tucson continuing testing (which began this year) on a new engine for the 787 Boeing Dreamliner.  Note:  It was not part of a master plan by the illuminati to poison the population making them complacent and infertile nor was it trying to control the weather... 83,91,63, .02",B

name that plane

Gotten buzzed by 4 of these at a time - three times so far this year...flying LOW.  Maybe they heard I have an assault rooster.  47,65,26,0,B,0
