the last three were from 17k to 29 k within minutes, mornings are very good, these three looked like they were dog fighting

I probably haven’t persevered for long enough because those which I have been watching have barely altered speed or height……post the next you see in the category you have described and if I’m here I’ll look immediately.

But as in examples you posted the rates of ascent/descent are not shown. I think there’s a lot of guesswork going on here…..:eek:

Well even I can work out the rate of climb from the heights given, the speeds are incredibly fast so they aint a Cirrus passing over. yep a bit of guess work and a heads up for those who are interesting, but they are there and can be discussed.

Whats a sniper?

A crack shot Gary, who can put one in your head from over a mile away :highly_amused:

Jim.
Lincoln .7

Now I can certainly see these sqwarks but how do you know what they are other than the information in the panel?

If you watch them and see speed/rates of climb etc cannot be a 747

FIGHTERS ! Interceptors etc

Whats a sniper?

I only use the free version, on that one of the only interesting things I’ve seen is a Royal Jordanian Air force C130 over (I think) North Africa if I remember correctly , and there was once a RJAF private jet type thing flying down the East of the UK

All that info and i had no idea what one is so to help 🙂 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EADS_CASA_C-295

Thank you DerekF, that clears that up,
So why can I see them and other cannot?

TA

Military types appear courtesy of a system called MLAT which effectively triangulates Mode S signals. It isn’t as accurate as ADS-B.
FlyBE Dash 8s and other light types are now appearing because of MLAT and not ADS-B. It says T-MLAT in the radar box on the left side of the screen
