    You would yea, take a left at the main terminal and go through the car-hire area. You'll get a great view from there. Bring wellies and an umbrella :). Just home, got soaked but it was well worth it.

    Or what time is it leaving at would that be better

    Where is this? Would love to see a plane of any sort land with that view - assuming its all safe and legal. any directions?

    Sorry, just caught it on Twitter via a friend. I'm assuming it is one of the periphery roads around Shannon Airport, as it seems to be Shannon based Twitter handle.

    Some of our aviation friends on here who live locally might help with the location, as there seems to be a few out and about around there.

    That's some crew in the deck (the captain is out of shot). Eight in total. And it sounded like they were'nt too impressed with the instruction to do a 180 at the end of the runway...

    No it’s leaving Friday at 0900 local. Flying in Ireland’s information is out of date.

    How sad is this when we lose our sh1t over 1 aircraft coming to Shannon that even the news people are there.

    I agree, you'd swear we've all been locked up for 3 months or something.

    Confirmed. Lads are on the lock here, so it's Friday.

    The logistics of even loading the thing are staggering. No wonder it's leaving Friday.

    While not the same plane this video I’d imagine is close enough to what it’s like inside. https://youtu.be/5FSyTuY1rGg

    Was the 180 at end of runway necessary? Looked like there was an exit just before the end.

    I'm just guessing, but there may not have been clearance on the apron if it had used that taxi way.

    Well then a simple "hold position" would have worked. The 180 did seem excessive alright. Maybe the tower wanted to get a good shot of the plane from all angles...

    How would a hold position have helped? It would still be there. Shannon is a plane park at the moment.

    PS. Why can no one spell Antonov?

    I skimmed through that and was wondering when it was going to land. It actually already had but it's so high above the runway that I thought it was still gearing up to land.

    Instead of going past the exit and doing a 180 it could have vacated at that same exit and then hold position on the taxiway if the apron was not ready.

    Just home from Shannon. It's not taking off until 11am tomorrow, according to the airport police officer we spoke to.

    Would a 180 have been tough on its non-steerable tyres considering it was fully loaded ?

    Impressive plane. It's simply huge.

    Less impressive were the people who just abandoned their cars in the middle of the road past The Honk Bar.

    Takes too long.
    Far quicker to backtrack.

    The apron wouldn’t be ready if they waited until next week is my point.
