I think we also require live video feed of Mech1's ladder for this to qualify as an epic weather thread... :P:D

Strumms

Yep.. Not listening to the feed but watching on flight radar... Looked like he abandoned and around 1800 ft. I'm a mile and a half directly from the runway and looking out I can usually see either approach weather depending... Some weather the last 30 minutes...

What's the story with Fuel in SNN for Aer Lingus? wouldn't have thouht fuel at a large airport like SNN would ever be an issue...

Strumms

FR coming back south again... Sill some thunder and lightening in the area however wind has just dropped right off and the rain is now light...

happy_head

Comms with tower lost??

Mech1

No, tower loud and clear

imfml

Slow to respond alright, when the pilots need the info they can give the most. Sounds like Shannon has been deserted for the night.

Shamrock231

I think he meant that EI565 lost Comms with tower.

MrPoker

Shannon and Cork not available for diversion?

Yeah have them again, just EI565 not able to make contact with them. Could be in for another interesting night, like the one that brought you to fame

Well ORK has CB in the vicinity, and SNN has no fuel for them to fill up with... You'd wonder if there was no one they could just call in to fuel up the plane, sure they couldn't all live more then 40-50 mins away from SNN...

keith16

Is there really no-one in SNN?

565 having a go. Didn't make it during the high winds in April.

Looks like one of the transmitters at Dublin might have been damaged...

That was very interesting - I had more tabs open on the browser than I could handle there - Met, LiveATC, Flight Radar, Lighning Radar, Boards etc!

Just as you say that more thunder and lightening.. Wind has picked up and more heavy rain... Those guys may have found a nice little window to get back home through...

Ryanair from Warsaw seems to be coming in over the city, Is that a usual flightpath I always thought flights come in over Drogheda/Navan when landing from the west?

imfml

He requested to fly south for a right turn in due to thunderstorms to the north

P_1

That makes sense thanks

Yeah, seems a strange one allright...maybe they are seeing something on the radar....seems to be a cell near enough to Dunboyne so maybe they are avoiding that?

Mech1

124.650 "upper south" freq, seems to be way down on power.

Shamrock231

Just flew right over my house...

Shamrock231

You know when a controller says 'good morning' to an aircraft you've stayed up waaaay too late...
