Planefinder : what?
 
On planefinder.net I found this which is not a plane but a joke or something strange on the site ?
PHFUK registration.

FR24 has it, too. Would say it's an aerostat - which matches the icon.

PHFUK is a hot air balloon registered to Oordt Adventures in Zwolle NL. The icon on the map is about 140km from its home.

I'm sure I'm missing something....

It's a Cameron Z-105 balloon, built in 2003 and registered to Oordt Adventures B.V.

I think OP is missing that English isn't spoken by everyone on the planet and certain letter sequences don't mean squat in other countries.

As noted upstread it's a different craft. PHFAJ vs PHFUK

Not sure what "as noted upstread" means, but OP typed "PHFUK registration"

The PHFAJ shown also appears to be a balloon - a Kubicek BB70Z

The flight has no listed origin and no destination.

Shouldn't it be something like Cornfield -> Soybean field. :p
