"We finally made it"
"Welcome to Dublin"

Relieved people all round I am sure.

This feed is great! You don't get so much company chatter in the LiveATC feeds. AerLingus have a blocked sink in a forward lavatory!

Funny listening to what must be EI's tech frequency with someone asking someone to fix the toilet, some passenger lights and saying someone opened the "diversion envelope" and being asked to contact the "library" instead. Whats that like instructions of what to do when you divert?

Good few EI flights cancelled:delayed this morning. FR seem to be operating as normal.

Ah good morning folks, everything seems to be landing this morning. Only A330s all over DUB at the moment.

A Qatar A330 just landed, EY and EI from Boston coming in and an EI A330 just took off.

Off to start my day with 4 hours of sleep :pac:

It was hard to get away from the computer last night, the stream was really informative, many thanks.

Fair play to those who posted some of the hilarious comments. You've really brightened up my day.

Great gas listening to Shannon on live atc last night, trying to get planes parked up around the Airport was great, the guys played a blinder moving them around, I wonder how many went into Shannonit was non stop for a while, they said they had no more room there.

As a nervous flier following this thread last night along with ATC was actually very reassuring to see how routine everything is

Have a question about the flightradar website. I've tried it on safari, chrome and Firefox and every time I click the cockpit view it doesn't work and a pop up screen displays the message "The google API key used on this website was registered for a different web site. The developer of this website can generate a new key here".

Am I doing something wrong? My google earth plugin is up to date

My problem is I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8 so I can't update to the current version of google earth. Might that be the case? When you go to the update site is says everything is up to date but that might not necessarily be the case.

Knew this would be an interesting thread last night, but too lazy to log on from my comfy bed to check it out. Posted on the weather forum that my house was right under the approach for the airport by Hollystown and was listening to the several attempts at landings. I could hear the planes come over with their engines howling away and a minute or two later the roar as they aborted the landing.

It's quite amusing that this is one of the busiest and best threads ever in this forum with 650+ posts.... And about 3 of them are on topic

OK fun stuff over, now the boring question, if the winds were too bad for landing on 10/28 why wasn't 16/34 attempted?

The winds were coming from 220, which is 60 degrees off 28 but also 60 degrees off 16, meaning the x-wind component blowing across both was the same.

Would I be right in saying lastnight conditions wouldn't have been as big a problem with the old main runway, 5/23 ?
