As i don't have any social media presence, flightradar24 is how I waste my time. Instead of clicking on random videos I click on random planes.
Over the years I have seen many interesting flights. There are occasional drones (mostly US and Turkish) loitering near conflic zones, weird planes, weird routes etc.
Once I saw a Gulfstream flying from the capital city of one country to another's. Those countries have been at war since 90s and their respective airspaces are closed for each other. I thought it's probably 3rd party mediator, but those visits are usually well covered by press and are not conducted in a Malta registered charter company's plane. Made me think of what kind of behind the scenes deals were being made...
And today I clicked on an airplane that was approaching London. The trail went all the way back to NY (it's origination) but everything else was blocked, registration, country, destination, icao code. Speed was 440, altitude 39000. Ok not a big deal, I see those often, some billionaire or celebrity probably, but when I looked at the aircraft type it was a P30 Twin Comanche. Unless it's an error, why would someone mask the fast, high altitude, high endurance plane as a P30? Those who are tracking, probably know the difference, and this makes it that much more suspicious. I mean if it said Challenger I wouldn't probably even care.
