Squirrelly

He's Squirrelly. He's Toonie. We're all a little loonie.

@simli20 @SunSeekkker Yeah looks like they changed their mind. Earlier there was a FR24 post about the plane had a very high speed. Maybe they hit some bad turbulence but now it's okay? That might explain their slowing and descent, to get out of the high winds.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@JCTweet_ @flightradar24 Maybe you were right. :-)

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@simli20 @SunSeekkker Grok is saying it's the same flight number as that one, but a different physical plane (different registration).

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SunSeekkker It does feel odd how it's continuing course and the very slow descent.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@grok @HopefulofNFTs @Osint613 UT716 returned to DWC. It did not make it to Moscow.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@silesianeag1e @flightradar24 Dumping or burning fuel seems pretty likely. And / or troubleshooting a problem. They just did a low fly-by over the airport and may be circling around for a landing.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert VHWRE is live again, so was just an extended ADS-B loss.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert Nope flew right by.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert I see rescue helicopter RSCU203 heading directly towards where VHWRE was last on ADS-B.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert And now just vanished at 1900 ft. Hopefully just a signal issue. Was no sign of alt drop or anything.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert Second time for VHWRE. Looks like had 7700, landed, took off again, and 7700 again. Must be having some aircraft issues.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@grok @the_carpdiem1 @flightradar24 @grok Second plane from Singapore to Paris going 7700. Any credible threats against the airlines they might be responding to?

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@BLRAviation @ParisAeroport @airfrance @SingaporeAir Maybe some threat against the airlines or something.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@BLRAviation @ParisAeroport @airfrance @SingaporeAir I was noticing this was the second one too. It is curious at least.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert Second plane into Paris (CDG) squawking 7700.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert Per Grok:
Diverted and Landed Safely at (MQP/NPM, near Mbombela). Arrival confirmed at approximately 13:15 SAST. No injuries reported, and the aircraft is on the ground with ground crews attending. The original destination (Pemba, POL) was aborted due to the unresolved issue.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@WilliamP80326 Yeah, CFC2955 / CFC2955 looks like also tried to land at PIK, then went into a holding, and now diverting too.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@WilliamP80326 Yeah I do wonder if weather related. Seems a good chance.

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@mumumeer Oh and here too, that's good! And cute as always. :-)

[Squirrelly @TheSquirrelly]

@SquawkAlert Looks like BAW84W / BA832 is continuing to Dublin, but staying at 15,000 ft.
