Can you please explain more? And provide a link so I can see a better resolution?

All I can tell is it looks like we got some American birds with military callsigns flying over there. And the patterns they're flying are definitely not 'routes' from one country to another.

Go Moose!

Thanks my man!

So, as an aviation 'enthusiast' I use FlightRadar24... but military and government flights are blocked and don't even show up on radar.

Private plane owners can request that, while they still show on radar, their personal info (N-number, transponder, etc.) is blocked.

How is this website showing us military flights?

I work near the approach/departure paths for KCLT (Charlotte) and sometimes I get to see the ANG C-17 take off and land. It has never shown up on the radar (Flight Radar 24)

Thanks!!!

PS - Is that land outcropping Quatar? Trying to find it on liveuamap.com

BREAKING

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo:

Iran is violating a UN Security Council ban through satellite launch and will be held "accountable."

Today's launch was carried out by the regime's IRGC. Washington has designated the IRGC as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization."

Aurora Intel - #StayHome @AuroraIntel · 28m Footage release by #Iran|ian Media IRIB News shows the launch of the Qased SLV with the Noor Military Satellite earlier today. Stage seperation can be seen in the video.

A couple of folks to follow on Twitter for breaking info, I will get to your other question.

Interesting to see the contrast between the sites.

We are conducting training and right of passage exercises. Due to Iran playing chicken with our shipping we added an additional plane or two in the daily mix.

The planes marked as 'C30J' s are USAF C-130 J Hercules gunships, flying escort patrols over the straights. These work with the Navy to provide gunfire support against small boat swarm attacks by the rageheads.

The planes marked as C-17s are USAF C-17 Globemasters, heavy lift transports. The H-53 is a Marine Helicopter, heavy lift.

The others are passenger aircraft.

Except for the gunships it's probably about normal traffic, is my SWAG.
