General FAQs and r/flightradar24 rules:
Some FAQs Unique to this thread:
GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.
Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.
A general note from the mods - During periods of military activity, we experience a surge of new users. When this happens, we enable Reddit's crowd control feature. This may send some posts and comments to the approval queue, especially if you are new to the sub. If you have a post or comment stuck in the queue, please make sure it follows the rules. If you are trying to post anything related to the Middle East, it needs to be in this thread.

- Requests for users with Premium accounts finding flight details for past flights
If you're new to the community, welcome!. Please be sure to read our Stickied Rules post and FAQs to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Middle East region, you may find some answers in the Iran & The Middle East megathread.

Aircraft Flight of Zeros?!
I was sitting in my house and I heard the common low drone of airplanes approaching. But based on the tone of this one, I knew it was something special, so I ran outside to take a look. It looks like it was a formation from the CAF headed somewhere. Flight radar said they were Harvard Mk IV’s, but it looks like they’re painted like Japanese Zeros. Anyone know what the story is? Either way, always cool to see a formation of historic planes flying over!

Military German air force jet identification
My friend send me this screenshot, sadly he couldn't see the jet, only hear it. I suspect that it is a tornado, as they are somewhat common to see here.

Does anyone know why this swiss A340-300 went to Twente?
I was wondering, as, according to Wikipedia, the airport does not do passenger (and military) flights, and I doubt they do maintenance there...
