Fuel dumping due to problem? Mechanical? Hijack? Problem at Gatwick?

Or me being sensationalist on a Sunday?

Possibly a bottleneck on the ground at Gatwick. This might be the plane... VS44 from Las Vegas to Gatwick.

That's the one. Beware, if you are a sad anorak (like me) - you can waste hours on it.

I have never been classed as any sort of "spotter" but I have already wasted a load of time on this and will likely spend more on it, what a quality website!

 

[papajaff]

The proportion of worldwide air traffic over Europe is quite incredible. Does that move around with the time zones or is that fairly normal?

 

[tedebear]

Bloody easy jet going over our house right now!

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

oh dear! wish i hadn't clicked on the link now

i get loads of planes over my house en route for barcelona and i guess other north african and spanish airports,now i will know exactly where they're going

 

[Barnham Seagull]

You only see some of the traffic on flightradar as many planes do not have a transponder fitted thet flightradar picks up.

That said I love flightradar!!
