People, 60-0061 was reported from ADSB and is not part of the two that flew over Europe or that have landed at Fairford!
Can we report actual sightings please, not technological ones, thanks.
Regards

I believe that the mention of 60-0061 must be based on the hex code AE587D and its tie-up in "virtual radar" databases like those of ADSBExchange and 360radar.

For the record, AE587D has now been confirmed as being 60-0024 and was the only one of the three that plotted.

Regards,

Bob

One B52 can currently be seen on ADS-B heading North East over the Ostsee, north of Poland alt. 27000ft?

Made a 180 above Gdansk and is now heading west/south west
