Ive read a lot of his initial postings had helped on a couple. This is the first time (and last) I was a little
snippy. Is he not a learner, more of a taker?
Hey guys, I do appreciate your help a lot and I try to find everything I can on Google before I post. I thought someone might know the answer to my question about the origin and destination of the flightnot the tracking. I did not ask about tracking. I don’t think that was a nosy question but if you do, please explain to me.
Sorry if you think I’m rude or whatever, I just really like planes and tracking and I’m enthusiastic. I don’t know everything but I’m trying. I like to talk about this stuff with all of you guys. Also, it might not be my business to know everything but it’s okay to be curious about everything.
Anyway, I’m 14 and think I’m doing pretty good at learning this and I love it. I understand if you don’t want to help me anymore, that’s cool.
I do try to learn, that’s my whole goal. Learning everything about airplanes. I don’t just take. I do try to answer many posts here when I know something that can help or maybe answer a little or just talk.
This is where you being 14 and having a ton of time on your hands and me being 49 and having little free time come into play. I look at that and say… Hmm. Wow… Interesting… And move on… With that said look at it logically. What do Calgary and Colorado Spings have in common? Perhaps this is a flight for a local sports team or college?
In the end, as I said, I appreciate your enthusiasm.
I actually find it refreshing myself. Reminds me of when I was his age. That was 42 years ago and, sadly, no “information highway” to help me. I went to libraries to get information from books and magazines but aviation, especially commercial aviation, is lacking in public libraries.
Ok, thanks for the help. Yeah I am a 10 on curious scale but not for bad stuff. The thing about googling is it doesn’t talk back to you, or have a discussion. I like to have someone to talk to about this. And sometimes when I do ask about a charter or something like that someone here did see it arrive or leave. I log all the planes I see or photograph from my backyard or when I go to airports so I like to know.
A reasonable guess as to destination would be Brize Norton (EGVN). Origin unknown but a great circle from Vandenburg seems to fit: gcmap.com/mapui?P=vbg-egvn
Guesswork, the RAF doesn’t disclose its flight plans!!
