"REACH" is a callsign of the United States Air Force. It's used for transports.

About 20 minutes ago, i saw a 747SP passing East-West over Maldegem (situated about midway between Ghent & Bruges, Belgium). I believe the plane was either A40-SO or A40-SP of the Sultan of Oman Royal Flight. It was probably headed for LHR or LGW. Can anyone confirm the identity of this plane ?

Don't think so, as LH aircraft are grey to the nose. Therefore I think it's a JAL 777.
@RJ85: do you recall in what direction this plane was flying?

Recent shots... i'd like to ID these...
Boeing 747 - Seen last week when staying in Barvaux ( Province Luxembourg). Probably comming from Liège airport. At first I thought it was Atlas air, but they have a blue tail to... so it doesn't match...
Boeing 737 - Seen over Ruiselede, going westbound... Simply no idea, though the birdylike figure on the tail should make it easy to id...
An Antonov AN-12 comming from Ostend, this afternoon...
And one I simply liked the sight of...

Hello,
yesterday I saw WOA8005 routing KBWI-ETAR and saw it on the UM140 Airway at 13:00bst. I tracked the flight using this link:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/WOA8005
Ive been using this website a lot recently, when you know which airways/VORs you live under you can find out when particular flights are due to pass over your head
heres a pic i took through my telescope:
@MikeLima: yes I think you are right about the JAL 777, my mistake
