This will be my last message about this.
On this 2019-07-15 at around 17:00, I turned FlightRadar24.com
<https://www.flightradar24.com/44.56,3.51/8> on to show the route of the
10th stage of the Tour de France: Saint-Flour -> Albi
<https://www.letour.fr/fr/etape-10>.
I clicked a few planes along the route until I pinned one that FR24
labels with a made-up name BE20. It circled in rounds all along he
track, probably to relay TV signals. You will probably be able to watch
it during the next stages. (⚠ Tuesday 16 is resting day). Unfortunately,
albeit F24 archives the history of most flights for replay, it does not
archive this plane, like e.g. most gliders.
Then I waited until BE20 went nanight in Castres Mazamet Airport
<https://www.flightradar24.com/airport/dcm> to take this picture.
Beware that the pasted over data is that when the plane was above Albi.
In Castres it was less high and going down. And it had a more decided
speed ;-)
I thought that this could add loving to watch planes to your loving to
map the land under.
For example, replay the history of this service plane
<https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/oo-let/> and wonder why it
goes to those places all over the world to fly in circles. Similar trips
for this helicopter
<https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/f-gkmb#21364fc1> that I
found in Albi, Lyon, Brussels near the Tour de France.
All the best,
Cordialement,
