Question for Poznan planespotters / flightradar enthusiasts

Dzien dobry friends,

Please excuse me for posting in English, my Polish language journey has just begun and I wouldn't want to give a false impression by using translate.

I used to planespot for fun, while I lived in Barcelona some years ago and where I am near Poznan, I regularly see flights overhead. Earlier today, I heard an unfamiliar jet and spotted a Boeing 747-443 flying overhead. Surprisingly, there was no info of it on flightradar.

I wonder if someone knows about this flight, just curious. Also happy to connect with fellow enthusiasts.

PS in the morning there were a few F16s flying as well, saw them do a nearly vertical climb (or at least from where I was). It was a good day :)

Take care and thanks for your time!

Boeing 474s often carry military equipment and they do a stop at Ławica Airport and then go to Powidz. i have an alert on flightradar when they're nearby cause I love watching them lol

I believe it was a military jet dropping off personnel/equipment.

I’m no expert. I just wanted to say that those jets always fly directly over my garden. Even though it’s the same thing all the time, I still always go out to take a look.

Flying myself or watching them feels so good! I was at the Leszno airshow some months ago and saw some really nice air displays (until they stopped due to bad weather). These days I'm a bit bored of the usual B737s of Ryanair so any military aircraft gets me excited.

US military often flies civilian jets to Ławica transporting cargo and military personnel, including soldiers. Amerijet, Kalitta, Atlas Air etc.
