Charter flight from Longview, Texas now headed to Teterboro, NJ; if you are booked on this flight, you might talk to your travel agent, "Perla", on what the deal is with the itinerary change. 
I still see GED (Delaware Coastal Airport) on the books.
A little pricey if you are a migrant with no money, looks like a restaurant at the airport if you have a craving for a BLT or Fish and Chips. arenasdeliandbar.com/locations/geor…
Satellite AIS data from @VesselFinder shows a @RimofthePacific PHOTOEX in progress off the coast of Kauai, HI with USS Charlotte (SSN-766) and a ROKN vessel (possibly ROKS Shin Dol-seok?) leading the pack. 1/2
And the photo came out great, nice work @RimofthePacific.
🇺🇸 United States Army RO-6A 16-00397 snuck out of #Iraq, and is flying over Canada now, returning to the United States.

Earlier today, at least 14 NATO and Swedish ISR aircraft flew sorties around Ukraine: USAF RQ-4 (FORTE10), RC-135W (JAKE12), MQ-9A (WILEY32), U-2S (BLACK01, BLACK02); US Army RC-12X (2 YANK01), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); 1/10
NATO E-3A (NATO01, NATO02, NATO11); Swedish S102B (SVF622), S100D (C203); RAF RC-135W (RRR7220). 2/10
ISR matrix covering today's flights showing collection coverage of the different types of aircraft. Of note is U-2S BLACK01, which is equipped with a SIGINT collection pod, and MQ-9A WILEY32, which was recorded as flying a 21-hour sortie today. 3/10
US Army MQ-1C with likely registration 11-00169 out of Mielec Airport, PO. A photo from Reuters shows @82ndCAB MQ-1C xx-0171 at Mielec, 10 days ago. Based on the similarity in registrations, 169 is likely with the same unit. #ADSB #AE51ED
We can also see it making the classic hexagon patterns that I talked about briefly, here:

Today, at least 25 NATO and Swedish ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USAF RQ-4s (FORTE11, 2 FORTE12), RC-135W (JAKE11), E-8C (REDEYE6), U-2S (BLACK01, BLACK02); USN P-8As (2 PS23x, 5 PS24x); US Army RC-12X (YANK03), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); 1/7
RAF RC-135W (RRR7216); German P-3C (no callsign); NATO E-3As (NATO01, NATO02, NATO09, NATO10), RQ-4 (UAVGH000); Swedish S102B (SVF622), S100D (C603). 2/7
Today's ISR matrix is.. busy, with strong coverage by ISR assets over the Black Sea (RQ-4s) and assets near Belarus (RC-135Ws, ARTEMIS, E-8C). 3/7
Today, at least 19 NATO and Swedish ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USAF RQ-4s (2 FORTE12, FORTE11), RC-135W (JAKE12), RC-135U (HOMER39), U-2S (BLACK01); USN P-8As (4 PS23x, PS22x, PL23x); US Army RC-12X (YANK03), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); 1/9
RAF RC-135W (RRR7218); Greek EMB-134H (OURAN31); NATO RQ-4 (UAVGH000), E-3A (NATO02); Swedish S102B (SVF622). 2/9
Today's ISR sync matrix shows distinct overlap across multiple platforms, in multiple regions. We see the RQ-4 coverage is nearly uninterrupted, with only an hour gap. 3/9
Today, at least 23 NATO, Swedish, & Ukrainian ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USAF RC-135V (HOMER21), RC-135W (JAKE11), WC-135W (JAKE21), RQ-4 (FORTE12), U-2S (2 BLACK01); USN P-8As (PS21x, 2 PS22x, PL22x), EP-3E (no callsign); 1/8
US Army RC-12Xs (YANK01, YANK02, YANK03), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); RAF P-8As (RFR7041, STGRY01), RC-135W (RRR7215); Canadian CP140 (no callsign); Greek EMB-145H (OURAN31); NATO E-3A (NATO06); Swedish S102B (SVF622); Ukrainian TB2 (12345678). 2/8
ISR Sync matrix for 2022-02-22 covering all spotted flights up until the current time, with daylight represented as a light gray bar on each line. I tried a slight adjustment on the style, based on received feedback. 3/8
Today, at least 13 NATO ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USN P-8As (4 PS21x, PS20x); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE11), E-8C (REDEYE6), RC-135U (HOMER19); US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); NATO RQ-4D (UAVGH000); German Navy P-3C (GNY4530). 1/5
Despite the P-8 activity in the Ionian Sea being regular these past few days, today was the first day I am including it due to recently hearing about Russian naval operations in the area.

Using this map from @lemonodor, we can look at what the RC-135U may be interested in; in this case, possible GPS interference.

Today, at least 8 US and Ukrainian ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USAF RC-135W (JAKE12), RC-135V (HOMER71), WC-135W (JAKE21), RQ-4s (no callsign [possible FORTE12?], FORTE11); USN P-8A (PL20x); Ukrainian TB2 (12345688); NATO RQ-4D (UAVGH000) 1/8
Again we see an overall lighter day, with few P-8s in the eastern Med but with a P-8 observing the Gibraltar Strait. Two Rivet Joints providing coverage of the Belarus-Ukraine border and of Crimea, with 24-hour RQ-4 coverage of the same areas, this time with an added TB2. 2/8
Today, at least 7 US ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE10), RC-135W (JAKE11), RC-135U (HOMER69), E-8C (REDEYE6). 1/6
There was also an eighth aircraft, another USAF RQ-4 with bogus hex #000001. This aircraft is flying over Greece at the time of posting. 2/6
I covered FORTE10's flight in yesterday's map, but it is worth noticing the similarity in location of the RQ-4 with the E-8C and RC-135W. With the distance it is flying from Kyiv, it's possible that this adjustment could be in response to nearby IADS.

Earlier today, eight ISR aircraft from the US, UK and Sweden flew over the Baltics, Ukraine, & the North & Celtic Seas: USN P-8A (PK249); US Army ARTEMIS (BRIO68); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE12); USAF RC-135W (JAKE11) Swedish S102B & S100D (SVF623, C604); RAF P-8As (RFR7041, RFR7040). 1/6
This is the second RQ-4 flight to make this pattern in the last week, making use of the same airframe. There is a possibility that we will see the return of the daily RQ-4 flights over and around Ukraine. 2/6
All of the approximate unit locations reported by @konrad_muzyka are covered by the line-of-sight range of the RQ-4, giving us a better idea of what she's focusing on. 3/6
Earlier today, five ISR aircraft from the US, Sweden, and Ukraine flew over the Baltics, Ukraine, and the North Sea: USN P-8A (PK22x), US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), Ukrainian TB2 (1235678), Swedish S100D (SVF604). 1/3
The Ukrainian TB2 briefly transmitted (~12 minutes) along the Crimean border, tracking west back to Mykolaiv. It is possible, based on prior flights, that she spent some time over the Donbas region. 2/3
Probably coincidence, but there are zero (0) #US military aircraft tracking #ADSB outside North America at the moment.

The largest cities in Afghanistan are #Kabul, #Herat, #Mazar_e_Sharif, #Kandahar, and #Jalalabad. If any cities in #Afghanistan were to have telecom infrastructure and internet access, it's those five cities.
.@Channel4News have reported that the UK ambassador to Afghanistan, Laurie Bristow, has remained at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport and is personally processing visas for Afghans wishing to escape to the United Kingdom.
He doesn't intend to leave until the end.

There is nothing secret about the Boeing 747s that are commonly referred to as "Air Force One" (planeS, there are two!), we track them all the time, and the links are available on Twitter for you to follow along too. 👇

I enjoy, no, I *LOVE IT* when people find, and continually discover, new and interesting flights that take place worldwide with flight tracking sites like @ADSBexchange, but I'm dreading the conspiracy theories this will make with the absence of context/history/probability. #ADSB
@ADSBexchange I can no better debunk this than anyone can prove who was on the plane, but I can add some context, so, sorry @realdivipro, nothing personal, but I have to be a wet blanket before this gets out of control (I have no doubt I'm too late and Palmer/etc will hype this anyway *sigh*)
@ADSBexchange @realdivipro 🇷🇺 Jet Air Group (ICAO:JSI) Gulfstream G650 bizjet RA-10204|#1427DC, in the past 90 days (b/c that's my "history window with @RadarBox24) has been in the air on 38 of those 90 days, or 42% of the time.
