Probable ICE flight Overhead

An Airbus A321 registered to charter airline Global X passes over Fairhope the afternoon of FEB 21 2026. Captured at an altitude of 34,000 feet or about 6.5 miles, the aircraft moves at a ground speed of 378 knots or 434 mph while heading west. Information about the flight was withheld from tracking data at the airline’s request, although the aircraft appears to have taken off from Jacksonville, FL.
