UK diversions due to crazy winds!

I’m based in the East Midlands, UK. Weather is insane. Spotted two flights diverting from Leeds to London!

I live in jersey city and don’t normally see military crafts let alone low enough for me to see it out my window going slow both ways

Just noticed flights are circling some airports and eventually being diverted away from Chicago Midway.

A388 Turtle livery — Any hints for the green one?

Well, while searching for quad-jets, I saw these two 1380-841, Orange and Blue Turtle Livery, and after a fast googling, I found there's a third one, can someone tell me when it's going to depart? My FR24 doesn't show future flights.

For those who wanna know, here are the codes for the airplanes:

Blue — JA381A

Green — JA382A

Orange — JA383A

UFO (Balloon) flying near Spain

Bit of a shocker on this one, I've been monitoring DMRKC for years now and told that it was ditched in the ocean, Seeing it actually in the air is kind of a blessing to me, There's only one of these mysterious UFO's in the whole of Flightradar24, And being a balloon might mean it'll stay for a few hours, So catch it while you can!

UA5345 FAR-ORD Diverted to GRR

UA5345 FAR-ORD Diverted to GRR

Any idea why this flight from FAR to ORD did this weird pattern then diverted to GRR? Once at GRR it sat on the taxiway for 2hrs before just now moving to a gate.

Also UA3658 from EWR to GRR has also been sitting on a taxiway for an 1:45hrs and hasn’t moved to a gate.

Other flights have arrived and taken off while both sit.

Normal occurrence or close call?

My work is located on final approach to Philly international. Typically I see dozens of planes landing every day, however, while I was outside I hear the sudden roar of jet engines. I look up expecting to see a 747 when I these two planes which appear to be a couple hundred feet apart from each-other. While the delta plane WAS accelerating to go around I cannot recall another time where I’ve seen two planes fly like this. Are events like this typical in larger airports?
