Discussion Weekly “Why is this in the Top 10 most tracked?” Thread - December 23, 2024

Welcome to the weekly discussion thread! The goal of this post is to provide a location for questions and discussion about aircraft that don't necessitate their own individual posts, in addition to centralizing discussion about known aircraft that are frequently posted. This includes aircraft on the "Most tracked flights" list.

Please be sure to check out the FAQ to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Ukraine region, you may find some answers in the original Ukraine megathread. For military aircraft in general, checking the callsign against this list may yield useful information. In all situations, make sure you search for the aircraft callsign and check recent posts to find any existing discussion.

Otherwise, feel free to post any questions or findings below and discuss with others!

Right now #2 and #3 are London AUR3LG and Jersey NPT903 to Guernsey, respectively. 3k and 1.8k tracking.

Whats up with Guernsey?!?

Ahhhh I see. It’s because the weather was really bad in guernsey so I guess people were expecting diversions.

Looks like it's going to Dublin, wondering why
