Found it - Gulf Stream with blown tires

Heard on the news there is a Gulf Stream jet that will soon attempt emergency landing with blown tires. I pulled up Flightradar24 and think I probably located the jet, which as you can see from the flight path is flying around burning off fuel.

Scary thing about landing with a blown tire is if the aircraft has Magnesium wheels, they can catch fire when grinding on the pavement, hard to put out. Seen that happen to two Navy jet fighters, one was saved, the other mostly burned to the ground! Great they landed safely! :encouragement:

Apparently flew right over my house at one point. So many planes go over that I hardly look up unless the engine sound is strange, like a WWII bomber. Glad he got down ok.

Glad they got down alright, that could have been dicey. He should give his pilot a bonus.
