FL488

Post by Chrissly69 »

On Adsb I noticed an Egyptian C-130 flying 1271/ SU-BAB at FL488. Would this be a misread from adsb or do C-130's really have this kind of ceiling?

This happens a lot with Egypt C-130’s. Also last week when they visited Eindhoven.
Problem with ADSB.

Nowadays, GPS jamming and instrument spoofing is more standard than exception...
I wouldn't be surprised if such 'readings' are the result of spoofing..... :shock: :cry:
