Has Nestor got competition?

[planedriver]

Many on here would have witnessed Nester Slepsev flying backwards in his Storch with a slight headwind. Well it looks like he might have some serious competition. For the past half hour i've been tracking aircraft on Flightradar24 and there's a Saudi Arabian Airlines 747SP currently Near Wagga Wagga flying backwards at 37,950ft. It shows an airspeed of 0 knots.

 

I reckon they must have forgotten something, maybe, undoing the tie-downs.

 

What do you think?

Slowing down to make the morning curfew in Sydney?

Simple really...the earth is rotating underneath him at the same speed as he is flying.

You wouldn't believe it, but after another 1/2 hr or so, he reverse parked it at Tullamarine. I kid you not.

 

The pilot got down on the tarmac and did something like this:beg:

 

Not sure whether he was an Aussie pilot, or not?
