Must be an incorrect hex code in planeplotter then..... it's just over the top of YSSY now.

Yup - just got a visual on it from the house - definately a 777 (damn you technology!)

Lee, just checked my SBS database for yesterday's UAE419 and shows it was A6-ECE (B77W) with hexcode 89610C. So it wasn't me. :rolleyes:

PlanePlotter displays the feeds from a few sharers in the Sydney basin from either their Kinetic SBS or RadarBox receivers. It would seem that one of the sharers' database has the wrong rego entered for that a/c and PP has picked up that incorrect rego and displayed it unfortunately.

Noel,

Appreciate the reply - I guess the guy with the incorrect data will only know who they are when they check their logs - one day I'll get me one of them "fang dangled techno things" as Nigel describes it! :D

Eyeball MkII only has a range of 10NM, Nigel ... I need better goggles!:D

Perhaps try Mark III? I had mine lasered late last year and they see fine to 20Nm now:D

I can find spiders on the runways during the midnight runway inspections...is that good enough for you?
:p

And no, I'm not joking.

Yep, thanks Bernie. Thankfully for us it's nearing the end of our traditional 'bat season', and hopefully your lot don't decide to mix with our lot! I'd be happy to see them move north to Ku-rin-gai.
Naturally the greenies are jumping up and down over the relocation...I wonder if they've seen the numbers leaving the Kareela camp of a night time?
