    Embraer Legacy 500 inbound Dublin has registration D-BEER. Easy to know what the occupant's weekend plans are :)

    FR6673 (RYR25GL) LPL-NOC and FR805 (RYR7ZW) STN-NOC diverting to Shannon due to low cloud and an easterly wind at Knock.

    Landing just ahead of them in Shannon is UA25 from Newark, resuming after it's first winter break in over a decade.

    So, That's what it was. I thought it was an An-12 from the noise, until I checked FR24. It looks like It's Shannon-bound.

    There is two Dassualt Falcons doing circuits of the north east of england according to FR24. Would these really be fighter jets instead?

    Cobham operates some Falcons on RAF contracts, they’re used as target aircraft for interception training and the like.

    They are converted executive jets, like these ones.

    Fedex B757 on approach to DUB from HEL. A rare sight from what I can tell.

    A long runway and sporty weather makes Shannon a great testing/training location.
    Can we count a touch ‘n’ go as the 1st visit to Ireland? ��

    There is the possibility of the aircraft doing a full stop and taxi through for crew change so I would say yes.

    Yup, the airbus guys are probably looking for crosswind situations to do the max demonstrated crosswind demonstration as the NEO has a reprofiled wing/winglet

    Cork is a good choice, little or no other traffic, Shannon is always first choice as it has a massive runway


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,182 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Was at Shannon all afternoon, then did 2 go's at Cork on it's way back to Toulouse.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,310 ✭✭✭Horse84


    It was a class sight especially as I wasn’t expecting it. It was bloody windy today so they got their money’s worth lol.
    Did the air corps casa visit cork today too does anyone know? Was sure I saw it on finals but I just caught a glance

    Just caught it myself. Seems like construction work on the runway threshold requiring all lights to be turned off! Heard the tower, in response from a pilot asking for an estimate on the delay, saying that this is "the first night of this" so an estimate was going to be a bit difficult. This isn't going to be a once-off occurrance so?
