There were a couple (673 and 674 plus maybe others) circling around the Beechboro area from around 9:30am this morning, doing drops somewhere to the East, but couldn't figure out from the radio traffic where they were.

I got an alert that FNY (a Skywest Fokker 100) was squawking 7600 (radio problems) It managed to get clearance to land, but is currently causing problems on the ground as it's a) not able to get directions to its bay and b) has an open mike causing Perth Tower to have intermittent problems communica...

You may also want to check out Virtual Radar Server - which plots ADS-B data on Google maps for you, and can be set up to show silhouettes and airline logos for the planes
