Thanks Garry and Ian never seen them on Airliners.net :shock: The one you showed Garry the info says
Iberia had 3 F-28s but only used them for training, freight and company flights, apparently
Wonder why they would off used them for training if they awhere not keeping them:think:
Thanks

I don't think so. Although a long time ago, I am fairly certain that they were in and out of Heathrow several times a day - either a lot of training or company flights (whatever they are). I can't see freight flights several times a day either.

The Overflight I saw and various radio call-sign I heard that identified them as F-28 indicated that they were on normal scheduled services to LHR
It didn't seem for very long of that often but how long or frequent I could not say. I think maybe two years if that.
We use to listen to Iberia ops for identification.
The aircraft on those routes usually made more than one trip a day..
Maybe ther were mainly for company and training but they did seem to operate schedules at time perhaps due to low loads of replacement.

Which radar? The one that you get when you click the Radar Icon?
It works fine on my system because I've got the Eric Marciano Radar Gauge. It also works great for online flying. It's a basically a TCAS gauge, not a weather ratar.
