  • That’s Cargolux, the Luxembourgeois (yes, that’s the actual adjective) flag carrier airline.

    From the picture of the mystery flight, it seems like tracking signal was lost and the plane was simulated by flightradar to be continuing flying straight in its previous path.

    It’s pretty common, especially around the Black Sea. You often see planes supposedly fly into Ukraine for example. The Caucasus - Central Asia corridor has also become very crowded due to western airlines’ refusal to use Russian air space for Asian travel.

    Any mystery deliveries would probably happen with military planes, without transponders on. And definitely not with a western company.









  • Well, there’s a bit of context behind it:

    The name is a meme in Poland and comes from the 1969 adventure-comedy mini-series Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową (How I unleashed World War 2).

    In the second episode, the main character is in hiding insideof Nazi Germany after escaping from a Prisoner of War camp. He is eventually arrested for an unrelated reason and this is the fake name he gives to the German bureaucrat using the typewriter. Unsurprisingly, he is baffled by the spelling, especially once he gets it right… since he gets an even more difficult fake birthplace to spell by the MC.

    Edit: If you mean Grzegorz, it means George and isn’t too difficult, I suppose.
