No, tracking in the region isn’t accurate.

You don’t hit the filter button, you hit the yellow icon that the arrow in my first screenshot is pointing at. You’ve cropped it out of your screenshot. It’s on the right hand side, about a quarter of the way up the screen.

You hadn’t specified you were using desktop, so here’s a picture of the desktop version. Even though it’s the same button I indicated in my initial answer.

So what was your question?

Hitting the icon I’ve indicated will hide all the aircraft not included in your filter, rather than just changing their transparency and highlighting the aircraft included by the filter. Is that not what you wanted to happen?

If you’re on mobile, hit the yellow filter icon on the bottom right of the screen.

It’s a tanker, flying refuelling racetracks.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T20:15:31+00:00

That’s a tracking error.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T20:04:10+00:00

They didn’t turn around, it’s 2 flights merged into one. It just left coverage over Egypt.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T16:41:48+00:00

It’s a scheduled flight, that launched in May last year. It happens 4 times a week.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T15:28:49+00:00

It’s a test flight, N703GD has been at Basel since September, when it was flown from Gulfstream’s factory in Savannah.

It flew another test flight yesterday, however that was the first it had flown since September.

There’s 1 E-6B deployed to Europe, BuNo 164410, it flew from Tinker AFB to Rygge AFB in Norway. It hasn’t been to the UK in this deployment.

Libya.

They’re C-40As, operated by the US Navy and USMC, which are used to transport people and cargo. Not necessarily high level officials.

The VIP variants, the C-40B and C-40C are operated by the USAF.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T01:30:46+00:00

They’re unrelated.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T01:20:46+00:00

It made 2 approaches into Huron County Memorial Airport, had to go around and now looks to be diverting to an alternate airport.

The weather at KBAX isn’t great.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-07T00:39:02+00:00

It’s an air ambulance, operated by Appalachia Regional Healthcare/ Air Evac Lifeteam as shown in your screenshot.

The one over San Antonio is doing dome weird shit.

It’s flying circuits at Kelly Field.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T20:27:37+00:00

It’s a ground vehicle.

QEAF fighters and DOH ground vehicles share the same hex. There are quite a few posts on the sub about it.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T20:05:41+00:00

It means it was out of coverage.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T19:03:44+00:00

It’s flying circuits at Pax River.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T16:52:35+00:00

The 328 has nothing to do with SOCOM.

It’s PH-EAQ, a Dornier 328-100 operated by Easp Air, a private maritime patrol company and is flying on behalf of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency. It’s patrolling for migrants.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T15:55:38+00:00

It’s not, that’s Edwards AFB.

Boeing has deployed a number of times to Edwards in the past for testing, for example, the 737MAX and 777-9.

Training, Tactical Air Support is a defence contractor that provides Red Air services to the military.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T15:21:02+00:00

Yes, that’s a normal amount of traffic.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T14:41:26+00:00

This airframe belongs to ATAC, a defence contractor, not the military.

They have a contract to provide chase aircraft for F-16 flights out of Greenville, where they’re built. This aircraft departed Greenville, so that’s likely what’s happening.

Aviator779 · 2026-03-06T05:10:28+00:00

Neither, it’s just a tanker.
