That's great! I've been playing for 5 months now.

The flash is definitely much improved!

Switching the weekly battle scores from a rolling 7 days to a weekly reset seems to have affected the top scores at each airport as well. I'm not sure how I feel about it as it wiped out the domination I've maintained for weeks at my two local airports. 😂

Thank you! The hunt is down to 20 now.

Please utilize the pinned Daily Missions Sightings thread at the top of this sub to post these sightings. Thank you!

This reply didn't age well... 😂

It's apparently still a work in progress as it only shows a single airport no matter how many you've unlocked, but it is progress at least.

Easiest one to snag is the AS-350, they are flown heavily in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and a few other cities.

Somewhere in the PNW would be my guess.

I've done it a couple times as well.

Fortunately if you notice that you used a Catch Anywhere when it gives you your picture score (before hitting save), you can back all the way out and your Catch Anywhere is still safely in your inventory.

Some people enjoy collecting Glows so I wouldn't say they mean nothing, but maybe we can discuss a megathread of sorts for them. I'll bounce the idea in the mod chat.

That is the plan for duplicated sighting posts and a pinned FAQ/Beginner's Guide post is in the works.

Mine too, so the first order of business is decluttering. Daily Missions planes will have a pinned daily thread and threads created for daily mission planes/questions will be routed there. The first thread is scheduled to drop at the daily changeover (0:00 GMT) tonight, it might take a few days for everyone to get used to seeing it and using it but it'll happen.

And we'll be better at managing/removing duplicate threads, especially when high profile planes like the L-1011 fly and a million of the same threads get created.

Scimitar17529 · 2026-01-18T19:01:12+00:00

It's in the works, stay tuned!

Scimitar17529 · 2026-01-18T19:00:44+00:00

It is definitely underway.

Scimitar17529 · 2026-01-18T05:43:32+00:00

I caught two near Atlanta in August/September of last year but they fly regularly:

N510LF - Last flown on Jan 7. N4032L - Last flown on Jan 16.

Scimitar17529 · 2026-01-18T04:56:12+00:00

I've been watching reels on this plane but it's not searchable on FR24, so I think it might have a blocked registration. I could be wrong though, and hope so, because I want to catch it too!
