Doh, FR 102 out of Shannon delayed over 3 hours. Inbound must have diverted last night

Delayed due to the STN crew operating the flight rather than the Shannon crew. Down to the divert to Dublin last night.

Tks, just saw that it was the Fuertaventura FR flight last night that diverted.
Edit: if you're able to, would you mind elaborating on how the crew issue works? Is it the same crew as the diverted flight? More out of nerdy interest than specifically to my flight.

BTW the longest flight, from Signapore to New York flew last night.
Over 15,000km and 19hrs.

Was down in Clontarf all morning doing surveys. Swear I spent more time looking at the planes itself rather than the houses! But I was shocked at the number of departures that occurred this morning. I know Dublin is busy but this was nearing Heathrow levels!

Runway 16 was in use this morning (south-easterly direction) rather than the usual runway 10/28 (east/west direction) due to the strong winds. This means that departing aircraft would be overflying the city when they would not normally be.

A Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner departed SNN about an hour ago, is this a U.S. rendition flight? Or does anyone have its reg. No data on FR

Rendition flight ? Surely having to fly the Atlantic in a metroliner contravenes some human rights

There are quite a number of civil Metroliners operating in Europe. Here is a recent SNN visitor.

Does anyone know why 9am BA arrival LCY was cancelled? ba.com says weather. Was in winds in LCY?

Think it is likely fog. My Aer Lingus flight to Gatwick this morning was cancelled due to fog in London. Now sitting on a flight due to depart to Heathrow that has had a restriction placed on it for another hour due to fog in London.

Flight restrictions due to low visibility. 4 arrivals per hour between 0520 and 0900. 8 arrivals between 0900 and 1000 and 14 arrivals between 1000 and 1200

SQ21 The world's current longest flight is just off the west coast approaching Clare.

It'll take the route with the most favourable winds I'd imagine. First one routed to Newark via the North Pacific and routed back to Singapore over the Pole

The return flight SQ22 goes the same direction west to east .. two flights around the entire northern hemisphere. Like a massive m coming up the North Atlantic over Russia down near the equator .. then back up over the north pacific to the Arctic and back to Newark..

There was some weird plane flying over cork city around 1:40 today, seemed to be doing loops and was flying low enough. Was a prop aircraft. Checked flightradar but it was a private plane
