The Qatar aircraft was an A340-313 A7-AAH, its been using the flight number QAF9 between Auckland and Singapore. I've been able to track it on Flightaware.

Thanks for that Emil. When I put the rego into Flightaware, it said it was untrackable. I might have to start checking flight numbers also.

Anyone know which RAAF Herc was doing circuits at Gilgandra this arvo? And if one was also doing circuits here last night?

Hi Rowan,

A97-442 was out today (only one from what we received) and we tracked it on ADS-B for around 50 minutes - unfortunately no position data.

Picked up A97-465 this morning and afternoon.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Yes Robert, Didn't catch it this morning, however we picked up A97-465 at 18:02 this evening.

Thanks gentlemen! There's been a Herc buzzing around up here off and on since about 4pm. Wondering if it might be working from Dubbo or similar

A97-442 just popped up at 21:17 as Trojan 41

So seems like they're working from Richmond then?? Another one arrived in the Gil' area about half an hour or so ago. Apparently they come up here often throughout the year but from my experience they seem to always be here in the week of Gil & Dubbo shows.

Hi Rowan, You can check the Registrations for Military movements within approx. 250nm of YSSY by going to 16Right ADS-B and selecting just Military and Today. Below are all the movements received today.
