does anyone know why AIR1 shows such a crazy flight path?
Check this out and let me know if you have any idea why this flight path is so strange. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AIR1 Here is a normal looking flight path http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA88 |

That's pretty strange looking. My guess is that it's a bug in
flightaware, there's no way a helicopter could fly that kind of pattern unless it refueled in the air and the pilot was a real steady hand on the stick.

According to the enroute log the helicopter has been flying non stop for over 12 hours. Probably a call sign error. |

Its possible that they land, get fuel and take off again without
canceling IFR while down. Maybe not likely. -Robert |

In a previous article, "Robert M. Gary" said:

No way a JetRanger could do that. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A...450Z/CYOO/CYOO Here's another that went half way to Hawaii and back in 1 hour and 2 minutes: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A...316Z/CYOO/CYOO Flightaware doesn't do well with flights in Canada. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Usenet is a co-operative venture, backed by nasty people - follow the standards. -- Chris Rovers |

For example, I am aware that there is a county sheriff Bell Ranger helicopter that serves the central NY area who uses the callsign "Air 1." -- Peter |

First question. Is AIR1 an approved call sign.
It sounds like a phoney to me Al "Ted" wrote in message link.net... Check this out and let me know if you have any idea why this flight path is so strange. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AIR1 Here is a normal looking flight path http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA88 |
