Must be caching

It's still there

Thanks for looking out :)

You just shared your personal tracking code and doxxed yourself to google. Everything from the ?is= part is not needed. The link works this way: https://youtu.be/gnMUvrspd7I

It's a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. The pod on the bottom is for luggage I believe. There are pitot/static tubes on each wing to measure airspeed and trim and a weather radar bulb on the right wing, just inboard of the pitot/static tube.

Pilots do circles for many reasons, usually related to training reps. There may be a radio beacon the pilot must fly past in a certain path for instrument qualification and so they are practicing.

Another reason to fly circles around an airfield may be to practice takeoff and landing. When they do this, they call it flying traffic circles, because they have to pay attention to traffic and communicate their intentions to other flyers and the tower.

It's got vertical stabilizers, doesn't it? Plus the f-14 was so wonky all the fight controls did something counterintuitive, so he could probably get by with just rudder and thrust

That's very cool and all but don't you think your son will need some flight controls?

Well thank you, I certainly try

Lucky kid

You're a good parent

pretty plane

(I'm of the opinion that it is outfitted with the F-110 engines)

It could have been a hotshot pilot, corrupt data and I also didn’t checking the elevation of the starting runway. It turns out there’s a pretty decent wiki for the Janet flights. I even remember in one of the mast flight sims there was a Janet mission for one of the scenarios.

thought all those janet flights were people just going to work, and were flown by ex mil pilots, maybe she was being pushed by someone who liked to go fast.

It's a solar powered, single seater plane

I mean it wasn't 24h, I believe for most was around 6h, but during the night.. people on flights that should last less than 2 hours in some cases... Terrible that an airport like Munich doesn't have a plan for such incident and sorry for pointing it out a stereotype but once again a very German way of (non) reacting to an unforseen problem. This would have not happen in most countries.

That sounds like hell. I was having anxiety just from one of my flights being delayed on the runway an hour or two. I can't imagine 24hrs..
