IMPORTANT NEWS RE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT

Lapin

Anyone know if it can be tracked of flightradar24, casper etc ?

No sign of it, although an A319 from the Royal Malaysian Air Force has just passed over Irish air space en route from Washington to ?

Ludo

Been watching flightradar but doubt it will appear. I did hear before somewhere (prob here) that they do appear but with no callsign and are not shown in the correct location.

There is a plane approaching dingle now with no callsign although when i click on it, it says it is a Continental flight with no origin or dest given.

Not sure. There is precedent for Air Force One using another callsign for ATC purposes.

(Apparently on Dubya's secret visit to Iraq and BA skipper made visual contact with the VC-25 and overheard them calling ATC as 'Gulftream5', he queried this before copping on to who the B747 was when the VC-25 captain repeated his callsign.)

Actually there is an AIR Mobility flight (747) which is US military now shown off the south coast heading towards cork.

Approach is 'down' but del/grnd/twr is live

Just heard ATC asking a Shamrock what the wind on short finals was,
"well to be honest, it was all over the place" Love the Irish mindset!!!


Foul weather for taking pics though! I would have had very little chance of a good shot if I had of gone out.

Looks like this is it as this plane now appears to be circling over Moneygall...maybe he is parachuting in to beat the weather :-)

Have been listening to Dublin ATC this morning - things are looking very interesting.
Ryanair have already had one go around, a number of other flights are preparing for possible go arounds and diversions, etc.
Flights trying to get out before lock-down with other flights going into holding positions, sever rain and wind!!!
Welcome to Ireland Mr Obama, I reckon he might be driving to Moneygall instead of taking the copper

Just heard the best quote from a Shanrock:

"Things are all over the place"

Su Campu

Air Force One has just called in on Dub 129.175. Descending to FL100 now

Captain Commie

FR9842 appears to have diverted to shannon, and its the cork-dublin flight.

Conchir

Did I hear right, something about clearing Runway 28?
