• The government won't have paid for a new livery for a Titan Airways plane as it's a private charter company but if you get the PM as a customer you're going to give your Airbus a good wash I'd imagine.

    Would freight landings at Heathrow usually come up on public sites, eg, flightradar ?

    Yes. And if you use this you can track military flights too https://globe.adsbexchange.com/

    Various Globemasters have been dropping stuff off at Newquay (e.g. a heli for Joe) but they'll have done the same at Mildenhall I'm sure so he could transit from there because they do keep helicopters there but they don't have the specially painted/specced ones sat around AFAIK.

    The sheer amount of kit flown in for a U.S. Presidential visit is obscene and £8 million was spent lengthening the runway so Air Force One could land there:

    What's climate change again?

    I meant the US Govt paying to renovate one of their own plain planes, on the occasion of Biden’s 1st tour.

    Also: 99% sure it’s a C-17 I saw earlier this week, having seen the video in the article you linked. Really astounding that something that big and heavy-looking flies.

  • Ah right, yes I'm sure there's budget for that!

    They're a bit like the bumble bees of the cargo plane world for sure.
