Close plane!

As part of my boring series, I was wondering if anyone had anywhere you can view flight paths of planes?

Was flying along a couple hours ago, and just underneath our ryanair plane in the middle of the ocean, another red plane went straight underneath us. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but holy moly it looked pretty darn close to us!

Was gone in the blink of an eye, to the left of the direction of our planes travel. Only a couple of us saw it with the speed of both planes.

I'm curious to see which plane it was.

(inb4 cool story).

Have you tried Flightradar24?

Speaking of close calls, today at Barcelona Airport.

That site runs like **** for me! I was flying into Malta if anyone else wants a gander.

Same as the scale can be a bit funky when your coming into land - planes that look close in mid-air are often 6-7x the distance away you instinctively think they are.

You're probably right, was astounding how it appeared one second underneath our plane (or so it appeared) and was gone so quickly. Genuinely looked like it was directly underneath us, albeit at a different height.

I like it best when they close the plane, it means my perm doesn't get ruffled by all that wind.

Cool starry bra.
