Hi man
This may be better placed on the ‘FlightRadar24 Findings’ app.
This is just to talk about things you see on flight radar 24.
I hope this isn’t like spam…
I appreciate you didn’t find it on FR24, but its the best place for discussing things like this. Plus someone may have caught it on FR24 giving you a further insight into what happened!

Most aviation news is placed on the “Real World Aviation” due to me placing this in the Real World Aviation part of the community.

Hello!
As it is an unfortunate truth that there are many small aviation incidences on a daily basis. We ask that you refrain from posting about these on the forum. This is due to the volume of topics we would otherwise get that would clog up the forum and dilute productive discussion of other topics.
