FLYSCOUT

Somewhere, right now

Every minute, something interesting is happening in the sky.

A plane circles, waiting its turn to land. A landing is called off at the last moment. A tanker flies laps over the sea. FlyScout picks these flights out of thousands, so you see the ones worth a second look.

As it was flown

What was this plane doing?

An Airbus A330 climbs out over Norway, then flies laps over the sea for most of an hour. FlyScout spotted the pattern and measured it; here it is again, from its recorded track. Tankers often fly racetracks like this on station, where other aircraft meet them to refuel. The line is coloured by height and the measured part is outlined. Drag along the altitude strip to fly it yourself.
