Considering it just flew back three hours over water, this is likely to be to suit airline operations rather than passengers. Probably could’ve gone on to LA.

Landed ok it seems.

Also Ei109 to jfk left 5 hours late. Bad day.

All that EU261 compensation. :eek:

That information appears to have been gleaned from reading online forums and Facebook pages as I have seen somewhat similar wording on both.

The Omni 772's last showing on Fr24 is the flight back to Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport, TX yesterday following its stand-in for Aer Lingus yesterday. It operated EI123 DUB-Chicago but for some reason the return EI122 was cancelled.

Might be worth keeping an eye out later on Fr24 to see if it's on its way to LAX for the return LAX-DUB. Reg is N828AX

Well, now, it is en route from Killeen to Shannon ETA 12.19. Flight No. OAE543. NOTE: NOT on EI Duty - see Aer Lingus Fleet Discussion thread

VS34 ANU-LGW landing at Shannon now on diversion.

Mr Flynn is fairly assiduous in monitoring and filing reports on these incidents.

That sounds like it could have gotten quite serious. Presumably coming from a bottle in someone's carry-on in the overhead bins?

I’ve had that happen before on a flight I was on, no obvious source, flight continued on as it was only a 40 minute flight. CC’s kept checking during the flight.

I’d have thought the wiring in those panels would be insulated for this very thing, pax drinks/duty free leaking

07/25

For any Cork plane viewers out there, How much is 07/25 used for take Off/Landings?

I happened to be by the Airport a few days ago and a Regional Aer Lingus came in over Douglas and landed on Runway 07/25. Winds weren't even that bad, just about on the limit. I've never seen that runway used before.

RWY25 used quite often, if you look through some of the thread you'll probably see us reference it. Only used for Stobarts and other small aircraft, it is too short for jet aircraft. It's also not suitable for low visibility conditions.

RWY07 is used very infrequently, I think I've only ever seen it once. There's no approach lights to the runway and conditions making it favourable are rare.

Watched an Aer Lingus B735 depart from runway 25 about 20 years ago...interesting sight!

I've landed on a Stobart flight on 25 before, and I think on a Air Southwest Dash some years ago - quite an interesting experience when you're used to the 'main' runway, looking out the window expecting to see Spur Hill and instead seeing Mahon Point shopping centre!

Aircraft Carrying Rapper Post Malone Blows out Two Tires Upon Takeoff, Will Attempt Emergency Landing




A private aircraft blew out two of its tires upon takeoff from New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport (TEB).

Officials say that the plane was diverted to Massachusetts and will attempt to make an emergency landing at Westfield Barnes Regional Airport (BAF).

The Gulfstream Aerospace GLF-4 aircraft was carrying 16 people, including famous rapper Post Malone according to Pitchfork, when it took off for London Luton (LTN), at 10:50am ET on Tuesday. The pilot noticed during takeoff that the front tires of the landing gear blew out and requested an emergency landing at Teterboro.

The plane, however, was rerouted to Westfield Barnes (BAF) and was circling to burn off fuel in order to make a safer landing, as shown on the FlightRadar24 flight path, which you can use to track the plane here. TMZ reports that the plane had 3,700 gallons of fuel to burn.

The plane is currently still circling at 6,875 ft.

Not sure if we will show up, but I will have the pleasure of departing Luton today around 12 noon heading to the southeast

Any idea where N757HWB is going to from Dublin today?
Seems to be 35 years old and has a strange propeller at front.

Brno. It’s N757HW Honeywell’s 757 testbed. It’ll be back tomorrow as well.

Thanks. Interesting. What do they use it for? Why the propeller engine is on it?

I'd presume its a test engine

It doesn’t have a prop engine on it. The aircraft is used as an engine test bed. The aircraft is currently being used to test inflight WiFi and it flies over large cities to see what interference the aircraft is getting while flying over them from all the signals below. They then apply that to their WiFi equipment to improve speeds and stability and then sell that tech to the airlines. The aircraft has also been trialling automated approach sequencing with other aircraft to see if more efficient approaches can be flown by computers versus humans.
