A regular sight in the last couple of days: a EUFI going RTB UK from Eastern Europe accompanied by an MRTT / Voyager. To the north of The Netherlands both aircraft split-up and continue single ship.

It turned out to be AC-130J 18-5905 enroute from BIKF via EGUN to Eastern Europe. Apparently this was the first visit of this particular aircraft in the European theatre.
Andrew St Edmunds photographed the aircraft while on approach to EGUN; awesome image!
On 10APR22 a Russian IL96 picked-up several persona non grata in Bruxelles. Because of the sanctions and the flight restrictions the routing of the aircraft was a bit peculiar…

Early this morning my system picked up the following ADS-B traffic:
601831 TUG3700 EZ-A700 B737 at 22-04-20 03:30:49 UTC
601831 EZ-A700 TUG3700 0.00000 0.00000 38000′ 303.2∞ 447.1kts 03:38:58UTC 6 *g B737 3250 1 A3
It turns out to be the personal aircraft of the president of Turkmenistan. A bit of an illusive aircraft because not many details are known. However a fellow PP pointed me in the direction of an interesting article:
Boeing 737 EZ-A700 (translated). The original article (including imagery) can be found here.
A rare image of the actual airplane can be found here.
The aircraft apparently landed at KADM this same day after a stop over at probably KPQI. The reason for the aircraft being at the destination is probably for maintenance or upgrades / alterations to systems or the interior.

RRR9913 had PSYCHO61 in trail when RTB to the UK. They split-off to the north of the Netherlands.
Since yesterday, a new addition to the hobby:

For pulling in the data I use Dump1090 and for display and logging purposes I use the PlanePlotter software. Next project is to get it running an the Pi with the help of this site.
The result is a list of aircraft and callsigns that are sometimes also up on HFDL or L-band but in a lot of instances they only show up on 1090 ADS-B:

Today I received two HFDL messages from Reykjavik to, apparently, a KC-135:

When checking the HEX on adsbexchange the aircraft was active as SABRE36 overhead Texas. A bit odd… but the HFDL data seems to be correct, and it was also received twice. So, my first KC-135 on HFDL I think…
And also so more remarkable data:

OSY used to be the Open Skies callsign / flight ID. And indeed 15+03 was the German Open Skies aircraft. But I don’t think there are still Open Skies missions. And then this data also appeared:
