It's..everything really


The midnight report said a 12 knot wind but it was definitely stronger a few mins ago. Now I don't think there is any wind..


Jaysus what's he doin

At least his flight path isn't in a shape of a cock :pac:

Ah it turns out he went into a hold.



Shannon can't fuel any flights that divert from Dublin cos apparently there's nobody there, Cork has cumulonimbus clouds in sight and Dublin ATC just became the most popular feed. Looks like my night time entertainment is sorted :cool:


This **** just got exciting

I know...

I take it your into aeronautics :pac:

That flight path looked like my flight path in the 747 in San Andreas. Is that where he trained?

Have they not thought about Belfast or Manchester. EI and RY both serve so fuel and customer service wouldn't be an issue unless there's thunder and lightening over there

Sky is orange over here :P the lightning seems to have died down a little.

You must be local enough if your reading up on that. Or else just hugely into history

Well, I was marking it, so I kinda had to! I guess that fits more into the second category though.

Yeah it was either Belfast, Prestwick or Manchester. The Ryanair just landed, Shamrock 565 finally approaching now..

Corvo, don't embarrass yourself you silly :rolleyes: that wasn't a 747 in SA unless you have a mod. That's a 737 like Ryanair

I didn't do history for LC so it wasn't me.

Wasn't LC.

And yep, someone reasonably local originally from what I know of her, though would be moved on and settled and married with a family elsewhere now.

Nah there's a Ryanair on approach from Warsaw.

Peregrine

jamo2oo9 wrote: »

One more Ryanair from Warsaw coming in

There weren't many, a 737 and a 757 departed like 30 mins ago and that's it for the night I think.

And that's it? Well at least the controllers have nothing else to worry about now.

Jaysus Nim, are you a younger version of me or something?

Where'd your intrest in aeronautics come from? I don't know too many others interested.

Daniel7740

Will we reach the 6,000 th post tonight ? :cool:

Theoretical physics or astrophysics

And keep applying for Aer Lingus and Air Corps cadetship every year. if I get in, drop out :cool:

Corvo Attano

God ye get talking about aviation and I begin wondering how the Parthenon was built illustrating with a bunch of 50 cents.

Where did I get that?

I don't know to be honest..first I was interested in military so I guess it just spurred on from there.

Then I did work experience in the Air Corps during TY..I was doomed from then, really

ScummyMan

Just read over the last few pages I missed.


LOL


EDIT: I love the attention to detail. Yes it was O'Keeffes, yes it was an orange dress, yes it is a sh!thole.
That moment will go down in LC forum history :pac:

Interesting. Do those lead you into the aviation sector. Astrophysics would obviously bring you to NASA, EASA and other space agencies but what jobs would you get with theoretical physics?

I'm not gonna bother with cadetship yet. Just want to get my degree and once I have graduated, I'll start applying for it during my masters year. Not bothered with Air Corps as you have to be committed to them for a long time and the fleet is not impressive even for a neutral country imo

Corvo Attano

Air Corps

Long wait to fly their 1 plane.

The Army Cadets is where its at. Try for a tour of Duty with UNIFIL.

But at least we get all of the snow in winter. Well at least Louth does :P Cork rarely ever get a snow storm like we did in 2010. That was one epic winter :rolleyes:

I applied for that work experience but I didn't get it. I've always been fascinated with planes, when I was little in the evenings I'd watch them out my window. My uncle was an air traffic controller and when I was 10ish he took me in to work one day and since then I've been hooked.

And I also have an interest in the military, part of me still wants to join the cadets after my degree. Or go to the UK and join up over there.

I'd be lucky to get a research position after Theoretical to be honest..


I agree, you have to stay with them for a minimum of 10 or 12 years and you still have to spend tens of thousands of euro switching to airlines if you do. The fleet really is disappointing..the best you can do is ferry An Taoiseach around or Maritime Patrol.

I'd prefer Aer Lingus cadetship..

If you still want to get some work experience in aviation, try Simtech. I did mine in there for LCVP w/e. got to fly on their motion Avro, ATR and the B737 decks. The team are really nice and will help you out a lot.

We had at least 6 inches of snow around my house in 2010. Had about a foot of snow in the top fields.


Louth and Longford are both small counties so its not surprising there's not many on here from there :pac:

You know you can try to join the RAF if you're from UK or your parents are British. Wish there wasn't a citizenship restriction on cadets looking to join foreign air forces. USAF would be a really interesting experience and same for the French too.

Corvo Attano

The military is fierce interesting.

The gurillas of Philip O' Reily, the 36th Ulster and the 27th Inniskilling makes me very patriotic for Ulster.


Do you know that the French Foreign Legion is basically the Black Watch?
You can join with a fake name and after your tour of duty you have a new alias
