What's flying over your house?

I'm probably missing something but when did the pilot become hypoxic, after the aircraft turned around?
Or is the speculation that the aircraft was following a preprogrammed flight plan?

We don't know when and yes it likely was. They likely had the flight plan entered ahead of time. The final destination was Islip, NY which is where it did the 180ish turn. Given that there little to no altitude change prior to arriving around Islip, I'm going to guess the problem developed after takeoff from Bristol.

More info that supports hypoxia

"It was only 15 minutes after a Cessna 560 Citation civilian jet took off from an airport in northeastern Tennessee on Sunday that the aircraft, bound for New York, stopped responding to air traffic controllers, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday" - per ABC article

Figured I'd put this hear to avoid another thread as this info can be used anywhere.

Airventure 2023 is ongoing in Oshkosh this week. If you want to kill some time here are the freqs. https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=KOSH. You can use this site to listen to other airports too.

I'm currently listening to Fisk approach which is the last check point before you arrive at the airport. This ATC is separating the arriving planes into the two runways.

I also have up https://www.radarbox.com/@43.93649,-88.68230,z13 to see them all lined up.


Here is the NOTAM that describes the approach procedure they use to keep everyone in line https://www.eaa.org/-/media/files/a.../2023_eaa_airventure_oshkosh_notam_final.ashx

We've had a couple of F18s giving us a pretty good show just off of Topsail. Last pass was right around 1000', weaving back and forth past each other less than a 1/4 mile out.
 
F-16 buzzing Mint Hill today. It’s making the internet explode with Karen’s freaking out. I’ve stopped my field meeting to watch the personal air show.

Nothing on the flight radar apps. Bad weather with low ceiling. Definitely curious.
 
Had two fast movers fly over me today between Benson and Coats, looked like they were flying along 27. Not sure what they were as I only had a distant side profile look at them, looked to me like a pair of F15s but I can't be sure. Flying low and slow if I had to guess ~500ft.

is flightradar24 the best?easiest?

They all have their limitations on receiving as they set up their own network of receivers to input the info into their system since there isn't a unified network. If you are in bigger cities, it doesn't matter as much as more open, rural areas. I bought the Radarbox subscription, and it is a total waste of money. I jump between Radarbox, adsbexchange, and flightaware. FlightRadar24 sometimes too. I like adsbexchange as you can turn on only the DoD birds, but fast movers generally don't transmit ADSB/C just the heavies and some choppers/V22s

I like adsb exchange, they don’t censor data like others do.

I feed flight aware and ADSB exchange both with a simple RTL/SDR and a Pi 3B and a cheesy indoor 9" vertical antenna. Even so, it sees (hears, actually) almost 1000 aircraft a day. According to my dashboard it's been running for 1041 days straight. Linux is a very stable OS!

The flight originated in San Diego.
From Wikipedia:

If the president's family members are aboard, but not the president himself, the flight can, at the discretion of the White House staff or Secret Service, use the callsign Executive One Foxtrot (EXEC1F[4]).[1] "Foxtrot" is the phonetic alphabet designation for the letter "F", with that being the first letter of "family".[5]

7E79B5FF-CD6F-4A54-9734-A181B4FCE3B0.jpegI’m not certain but I’m pretty sure that’s an MH-6 that flew over this afternoon. He was heading toward Lejeune and coming from the general direction of Bragg (err…Liberty).

The Ospreys were up today too chopping the air around the local airport.
 
regarding the F-15 and Linville,
they regulary fly up and down
the New River at the NC/VA line.
 
I was at a job trailer at CLT taking a leak when I heard a loud low bypass jet taking off from 36R. I about peed all over myself to get outside and see them because where there is one, more usually follow.

I was not disappointed when I saw 3 glorious F22's tearing ass across Wilkinson.

Were they F-22s or F-35s? The Marines had a flight of four F-35s do a fly-over in Charlotte Sunday night, the crew RON'd and caught the game.

Honestly I have never seen a F-22 actually flying, and the F-35 only a handful of times. They look so familiar to me I would be hard-pressed to tell them apart.

One engine or two engines.
