Re: Desktop arrangement problem.

Right click on an empty space on desktop then select view and uncheck Align icons to grid.
There is an auto arrange icons in the view option too might be worth unchecking.

Reboot and see if it fixes it, try either or if no success.

Re: RAF Fairford construction - complete

The drones will normally operate between 20:00Z and 05:30Z and will climb out in a resticted danger area to the north west until above FL500 and civvy traffic. They will then be free to route east as required. Has to be a reason they'll only be flown under the cover of darkness. https://i1.sndcdn.c...

First post doesn't say where it was going, and radio call-sign not reported so possibly not back to the USA. Anyone got the call-sign for the departure?
Was DRAGON21 and headed NW so safe to assume back to US/Beale.

Re: Canon 5d Mkll

... avoid the ... sigmas at all costs. Do you speak from experience of using any recent Sigmas? The Sigma 150-600 is a good lens, widely used and a minimum of one third of the price - new Sigma vs (well-) used Canon. As with all of these type of posts, nothing replaces doing your own research and t...

Re: Daily movements 11/10/21

As they have stated the runway is open until late tonight, can we maybe presume that there may be some more action tonight? It's unusual that they run that late on the NOTAM unless something else is happening isn't it? I'm quite a new spotter and still learning, so apologies if that's a silly quest...

ADSBexchange is the best free tracker (in my opinion,) just load it up an click the U on the top right to show mil. Others seem to swear by 360radar but it costs and shows nothing more, in fact I was tracking the C-5 out of EGVA the other week and it showed on the ground on ADSB and not until comple...
