Not a lot, other than some tortuous low level guided tours of North Leinster, I was watching FR24 for a while, and some of the crews landing on 16 this evening must have been wondering where they were going. Relatively low level from BAL up to beyond Ardee before coming back round the long way (270 degree turn ) to get on to the 16 approach must have been uncomfortable in this weather, and it took some time to do it

Another weird routing was a Stobart flight coming down from Scotland, he ended up making at least 2 90 degree turns as he was coming down the east coast before being vectored on to the approach.

Growler!!!

How some of tonight's crews feel when reading this:D

That's a new one in the panoply of Ryanair ground-test callsigns; EI-DLW currently online at Prestwick as MURCHIE.

Presumably an in-joke.

Lucky devils in Drogheda have two Martinair MD-11s heading westwards to them in trail. One is at just 28,000ft! Would be a splendid sight.

Used to, still sort of involved but not professionally. and would still enjoy being involved if the right opportunity came along.

Would have been a very different story if it hadn't been for Saddam.

According to my job description, I DO.....but that doesn't stop me from plane spotting :)

I'm not a frequent poster here and bar a long standing love of aircraft, I've no other connection with the industry. Some posters here obviously work in the industry and some don't. Irrespective, many are very knowledgeable and I for one appreciate them freely sharing that knowledge.
