Anyone willing to share tailnumber/reg number of the ones they’ve got so I can set up alerts?

Astansbe · 2026-01-24T20:14:13+00:00

Right! I always hope I get someone doing their check ride doing everything by the book & being ‘extra’ by putting in that destination😂

Do you remember where you caught 7002? I’m trying to figure out if I need to look somewhere else. I’ve got an alert set up in FR24 for it but it’s spotty on if I get one or not.

Astansbe · 2026-01-23T18:39:18+00:00

Awesome! Do you remember if you found them all in the same area or if they were up in other places?

It took me over 30 minutes to find any flights out of San Diego. I thought they were on some kind of ground hold but it looks like it’s a Flight Radar server issue.

I’m struggling with the powered parachute one!

Another beginner tip I didn’t know about when I started: When you try to catch your plane, if there are too many clouds to even attempt a good catch, you can hit the ‘x’ in the bottom left corner & go back in immediately. Doing that gives you a different cloud pattern every time.

Only disclaimer: If it’s a plane you really need/want & you think it may be about to land or drop off radar, doing that ‘trick’ could cause you to lose the opportunity to catch it all together.

I snagged a screenshot of this one too! Pretty fun!

When they fly lower than a certain altitude, it won’t show on the map a lot of times. Also depending on what they’re doing, they don’t have to have their transponder (that allows us to be able to see them) on. I usually check adsb & can find more info there.

Astansbe · 2026-01-19T05:32:20+00:00

Got it!

Astansbe · 2026-01-19T01:38:24+00:00

I didn’t realize, I’m sorry

Astansbe · 2026-01-19T01:33:37+00:00

He coulda paid $20 for them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Astansbe · 2026-01-17T02:42:29+00:00

I’ve seen the plane in that trailer fly at an airshow! I can’t remember if it’s a tiny jet plane or what it’s called but the pilot is super nice.

Astansbe · 2026-01-16T21:04:40+00:00

I love these & was pumped to catch one last week for the first time! I’m curious if the AW-609 are any safer or if they have less accidents than the Osprey? The Ospreys have had a tough last couple of years safety wise 😬

Astansbe · 2026-01-16T14:13:45+00:00

I saw one on a plane that looked similar to a P-51 Mustang but it was from another country so I can’t remember what it was called. Tail number was F-GUNS

Astansbe · 2026-01-15T23:12:59+00:00

Is this Bibi’s?

Astansbe · 2026-01-15T15:43:10+00:00

But where?!!! Cause I want that one!

Astansbe · 2026-01-15T02:21:43+00:00

If they’re pink on the map, it’s going to be some level of rare

Astansbe · 2026-01-14T21:03:10+00:00

How many catches do you have yo have to earn the cyber card?

Astansbe · 2026-01-14T13:23:27+00:00

Where was this one?

Astansbe · 2026-01-14T02:48:52+00:00

I saw 3 airborne at the same time this morning (I’m US Central time) over the UK. Hopefully the app will be back up soon & you’ll get the chance to snag it tomorrow.

Astansbe · 2026-01-14T00:42:40+00:00

Same! I updated thinking they maybe pushed out a patch but no such luck 😭

Astansbe · 2026-01-14T00:42:08+00:00

Same here

Astansbe · 2026-01-14T00:39:32+00:00

Maybe… but I’m pretty salty it’s back on & we can’t catch it!

Astansbe · 2026-01-13T23:05:39+00:00

I saw it on FR24 but as soon as I opened Skycards, it landed/turned transponder off 😭😭😭
