As many as 4simultaneous communication failure 7600 squawks, that too from same airport! And all the in top watch list of tracking apps.
But no need to panic. All are #Airbus production/test aircraft parked at #Toulouse.
Test/simulator squawks, or temp transponder settings.
A #FrontierAirlines plane en route from #Denver, to #LosAngeles, struck a pedestrian on runway at Denver Airport Friday night, forcing the aircraft to abort takeoff, triggering a small fire and evacuation of passengers. #Airsafety

11 months after an #AirIndia#Boeing787 crashed seconds after takeoff from #Ahmedabad, attention has now turned to a similar tragedy in #China 4 years ago — after a newly released US report suggested that the crash may have been deliberate. #ChinaEastern

4X-ISR, the official transport aircraft of Israeli PM and president, the 'Wing of Zion' is now flying back from Berlin, after a long gap of 48 days. It was flown to Berlin International airport from Beersheba base in Israel on Feb28, the first day of the war and was parked there.
It is now clear that the US Navy’s Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton, a remote-controlled ISR aircraft—which went missing after issuing a distress signal during a patrol of the Strait of Hormuz, has indeed crashed.

Though #US claims it has imposed a blockade on #Iran ports and shipping with 10,000 personnel, 15+ warships and air assets (fighters, ISR, drones), the military aircraft seen at 5.30am UTC on tracking apps in the region is this. See also the pic from April 8, same time. #Hormuz

Boeing KC-135R Stratotankers keep on coming to West Asia, all the way from US. See screenshots of just two arrivals from #USAF 101st Air Refueling Wing, Bangor, Maine and 171st Air Refueling Wing, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on April 2 & 3. #IranWar#USIranIsraelWar#MiddleEast
The fact is that there has been no new flight restrictions from Europe that would cause any significant inconvenience to the United States since the war began on February 28.

How many aircraft have both sides lost in the #WestAsiaWar so far? While it is true that the first casualty in a war is truth and facts, there are still some figures that can be confirmed as of Apr2, a month and 3 days after the war began. #Iran

Simultaneous presence of five #E6B_Mercury across the US suggests deliberate dispersal and heightened readiness posture of the US Navy’s TACAMO fleet, ensuring continuous survivable communication with nuclear forces. An above routine operational level, to be sure. 4.50 UTC, Sat.
Two of the USAF long-range, supersonic bombers, the Rockwell B-1B Lancers, are now entering the Middle East - Friday 5.48pm UTC. Arrival of the Lancers after two B-52H that were seen flying near Amman around 4.30pm UTC, indicates things getting more hot at Strait of Hormuz.
The movements of #US Air Force planes in Jan and Feb suggest that the US had not decided when to go to war, or even whether to go to war with #Iran, until the day before attack, and that it was Israel that unilaterally launched the attack on February 28.

The disproportionately heavy #US involvement in the Iran war is evident from this single picture. Among all the Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker around Israel seen today morning, not a single one that belongs to Israeli forces.

As the #Israel-#US-#Iran war shows no signs of abating, a rare congregation of as many as 9 Boeing KC-135R Stratotankers seen near the Israeli coast on Mar6, 6.53pm UTC. 9 visible tankers means at least 36 fighter planes in the vicinity with their transponders off.

The super-rich are getting out of conflict zones of Middle East in own and chartered private jets. The continuous flight of the business jets has started Tuesday and is still on.

The continuous movement of UASF Boeing KC-135R Stratotankers from US and Europen bases to the Middle East Tuesday indicates the chances of a prolonged #US-Israel-Iran war.
Also, the return of horads of Boeing C17A Globemaster III tells the US side is well stocked.

While Israel has shifted official aircraft of PM & Prez, the B767 with registration 4X-ISR to the safety of Berlin airport on first day itself of war, official carrier of Iran's Supreme Leader & president, EP-IGA, the A340, is still at Tehran airport, where it landed on Feb 22.
