I'm fascinated in the aviation industry, being addicted to air crash investigation and other airline/airplane documentaries, I loved this!

Around 50secs, just realised its the raf training site so that's why there probably going upside down etc...

You can get real time data from an app called Called 'FlightRadar'

 

It's quite good, Identifies most aircraft and gives height and speed data, origin and destination, plus other optional features

Love the flight paths of the RAF over north Wales and surprised they got that data, But it shows how busy the skies are getting and how good our traffic controllers are in keeping it all in control.

Very Interesting though i notice there was nothing in that lot about air traffic in and out or around raf lossiemouth or Kinloss my neck of the woods as there is quite often alot of air activity up here late night too I would love to see how much really go's in and out of here :)

That was class

Wow that is just crazy how busy the skies above the UK are :scared:

great thread and link:thumbup1:

I quite regularly need to track a specific aeroplane and use an app called plane finder. It's much the same as flight radar although possibly not quite as good. Thankfully it has a search function as this is what a typically off peak evening over Europe looks like (screenshot taken just now):

 

Obviously it's very scaled up but when you look at these during the peak periods, even when you zoom right in you realise just how much is above us.

Flight radar has a search function as well

Yeah, flight radar is a better app I think. I've only stuck with plane finder as I paid the £2.99 fee on the app store for the full version before I knew about flight radar and I've been too tight to buy an app of the same use!

That was a fascinating video. I had no idea our skies were so busy.
