Aircraft Flying Overhead [OTT]

[Finger66]

Flying to a CO2 conference. Should that be allowed? Apparently aviation is one of the biggest polluters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1045-
Falcon 7X V5-GON(Namibia 1) just routed directly overhead LBA at 40000', from Nice to Edinburgh

There has been a constant stream of exotic aircraft overflying heading to Scotland for the Climate Conference

Just checked before I go to bed and the following will be overflying Leeds at 2055-
Indian Government Boeing 777-300 VT-ALV(India 1) flying at 38000' from Rome to Glasgow

Flying virtually alongside it is Airbus A.318 Elite LX-LTI(Togo 01)

At the same time as the two mentioned above heading North-

Heading South is Qatar A.319CJ A7-HHJ out of Inverness

Most curious though is an aircraft which appears to have flown overhead Leeds about 30 minutes ago, A.319LR 4K-8888(Azerbaijan 4013) which has been holding at 13000 over the lake district. This now appears to be heading to Prestwick along with Lithuanian Air Force Falcon 2000EX LT-O1(Lithuanian 101)

Another one just passing over LBA(2110)- Boeing 777-300 PK-GIG(Indonesia 1) routing from Rome to Glasgow

Think we have boris force 1 as i call it passing over, raf a321 with the union jack flag on the tail.

Australian air force A330 just gone over the top. Very audible.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Some really interesting flights passing over en route to cop26 this eve

"Air Force 1" has just passed slightly West of LBA at 34000' out of Rome for Glasgow and is followed by 09-0016(SAM 46) a Boeing 757(C-32A) which is about to pass directly overhead(1033). Also following closely behind is a Greek Air Force Falcon 7x.

All of which only serves to show how essential air travel is in the modern connected World.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Never heard as much b******* out of cop26! I know how we can solve the so called climate emergency although my words on here might be too much so will remain quiet, but if these leaders wanna do something useful they could go out and pick up all the sh*t and mess off the streets of glasgow! And at the same time sort out the drug and alcohol capital of europe! Do my head in the lotta them!

 

[White Heather]

I can't help thinking how much CO2 has been generated by all these aircraft heading to Glasgow, mostly carrying not too many people there and the same coming back, not to mention the US Presidents huge motor cavalcade every time he moves.
Better get planting 50,000 trees to make up for it, just as LBA will do if the new terminal is approved. Or maybe aviation isn't quite the problem they tell us it is.
I wonder how Greta Sodding Thunberg got there! Walked perhaps. Judging by the way she is idolised she can probably walk on water, so the North Sea wouldn't be a problem for her.

 

[tonysmith]

If she’s walking on water can you direct her via the Bermuda triangle please

This makes me laugh, its r greta from barnsley! Haha

According to Boris the World is one minute from midnight away from extinction due to climate change. He obviously forgot to put his clocks back. On a more serious note these climate change evangelists have got to realise that aviation is essential in the modern World. By all means make it “greener” but over a reasonable and practical timescale so fuel and electric technology can be developed and matured, not the headlong rush we’re seeing now in most areas before affordable alternatives to fossil fuels are available together with the required infrastructure. Electric cars are a prime example with eye watering prices compared to their petrol and diesel equivalent models, even with the £2,500 Government grant. We need to ensure that aviation doesn’t follow down the same road and that it remains affordable to all, not just the privileged few.

 

[LBA4EVER]

The only way of dealing with climate change is POPULATION CONTROL, the more of us there are the worse things will get, but can you imagine our governments mentioning this.
By keeping the planets population under some sort of control together with ever improving green technology we would have a chance, but im afraid to say this will not happen, i do fear.

Old fashioned humour. I literally crying with laughter "imagine trying to save the world we killed the future king"
