N351AX, Omni 767 inbound Shannon, currently off the south coast. would seem that it has flown the whole flight at 10,000ft

What would the reasons be for such a low level flight?

Oscar Bravo

perhaps a pressurisation issue

Oscar Bravo

AW276 is operating out of Finner camp currently ,operating as far south as Sligo town and north up to Donegal. Also Echo 271(smaller EC135) is on the ground at Finner for the night

Currently descending through 27000 ft so probably an earlier flight radar error

Are Ei passengers out of Shannon going to be subjected to that sh1t box for another season?

Oscar Bravo

Thats a different Omni inbound from the west. the one that flew at FL100 is turning finals now

And it was very loud as it flew past.

The 11000ft one is a 763 coming from the Middle East

The other one is a 762 coming from Langley AFB in the US

The 763 was the one that did the EI ops last summer?

So a flight from CIA headquarters lands at almost the same time as one from the middle East. All sounds very Homeland.

Lot of holding going on over Stansted due to protestors on the runway.

It's live on Facebook. Anyone know what exactly is connecting their arms together? They don't appear to be on a runway.

That was a 762 I'm almost sure.

Oscar Bravo

the Shannon-Boston one was a 200 , i think the one operating out of DUB was a 300, that could of been 2015 now that i think of it

LXFlyer

The two 757s will be maintaining Shannon ops for Aer Lingus this summer.

No Omni 767.

It was a 767-200 operating from Shannon, and there was never a based Omni 767-300 operating for Aer Lingus, although one does occasionally fill in when there is issues within the fleet. (I do recall an instance where one operated from Dublin for a few days in 2015, along with a titan)

As lxflyer states above, it won't be operating this year. The reviews were absoutley shocking, caused more damage than good to the route. People were flying BOS-DUB and BOS-JFK/EWR/ORD/PHL-SNN last year in order to avoid the 767.

Plenty of diverted Ryanairs now landing at STN

Langley AFB is about 200 miles from CIA HQ, at opposite ends of Virginia.

UK Coastguard AW139 off the East Coast



Probably to do with this: https://www.facebook.com/MCA/posts/1309097152461397

UK Coastguard is currently co-ordinating a search operation for an overdue privately owned helicopter in the Caernarfon Bay area.

The privately owned twin squirrel red helicopter with five people on board is believed to have left Milton Keynes earlier today on route to Dublin, via Caernarfon Bay.

Earlier this afternoon, Distress and Diversion lost radar contact of the helicopter, and after contacting all airbases with no sightings or radio contact, the UK Coastguard were notified at 4.15pm to start a search operation.
The UK Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at Caernarfon has carried out an extensive land based search of fields and airfields within the Caernarfon area and the helicopter based at St Athan has joined the search this evening. We are in the process of contacting all the vessels in the Irish Sea that were in the vicinity around midday and we are continuing Mayday broadcast action for any vessels currently in the area to contact us if they have further information. At the moment we are appealing to these vessels and to the public that if they have seen a twin squirrel red helicopter to please contact 999 and ask for the Coastguard. We have no further information at this time.

It is I'm afraid.
