The Flightradar24 appreciation thread

An interesting thing a couple of days ago when waiting for and then having boarded a QR 787 at DOH.

There was apparently a Eurofighter Typhoon moving around the gate area at Hamad International. I’d been watching it on FR24 but couldn’t see anything out the window. Likely an ops vehicle that someone with a sense of humour had programmed.

I checked earlier this morning when considering writing this post and DOH looked normal with just usual RPT jets everywhere. However, I’ve just gone back to FR24 for another look and can see both of these:

MAINT3 - so yes a maintenance vehicle.

Highly likely not an F-15 being taxied around toward the off-terminal bus gates apron.

Qatari humour!
