Whats this Ryanair doing in an uncomfortably long hold over Shannon at 850 in the morning on a Sunday? They've looped 8, 9, 10 times and one has taken off from Shannon in the meantime?

Growler!!!

Fog in shannon this morning.

Aircraft can take off in lower visibility than they can land in.

For our crowd its takeoff in 125m vis, land in 300m vis

I didn't even think about fog, yeah that would explain it.

Endless fuel reserves, its been a 2 1/2 hour flight from Stansted to Shannon so far... I count 22 loops of the hold over Shannon. Mind numbing

Ha ha, not when you're calculating fuel remaining all the time
Fog due to lift at 10am local.

And who says that Ryanair don't carry a lot of fuel?

Wonder if this will get reported in the DM

Ryanair pilots 'couldn't see the ground'

900 frightened passengers were trapped onboard their Ryanair flight from New York yesterday as it circled for 22 hours over Shanwick airport - because the pilots couldn't see the ground.

'It was terrifying,' said one passenger, ' never knowing if we would ever land'.

Other passengers expressed concern that they would be irradiated by cosmic rays or that their souls would become detached from their bodies due to the high altitude.

The aircraft finally landed after a headlong descent towards the runway, only arrested by the quick-thinking pilots who deployed the landing gear.

Ryanair declined to comment.

Sources say a cut in airport funding due to benefit claimants living it up in mansions may have been to blame.

Pilots were also thought to be considering in flight refuelling with a tanker travelling on the SHANNON to Ennis road this idea was dropped after it was discovered the ryanair Airbus A373 couldn't keep up.

Lovely surprise this morning in the clear blue sky, A 787 and an A380 over Dublin heading similar routings about 1km horizontal separation. One at 36000 and the other at 39000. I never got a screen grab but majestic to watch the new kids so close and so clear this morning.

Anyone else see them?

What? No photo?

It has been disappointing over the last few weeks here in SE Glasgow with the lack of overflyers. I am beginning to think there is some kind of force field in operation or the routings are now by passing the east of Glasgow!

Flight plan shows 47n30w at the mid-point of oceanic airspace - certainly more southerly than normal and the elapsed time in the air, at 6h20m, is a bit longer than this flight has managed on other days recently.

Spotted that guy going over too (what an evening for it, an Air France 747 passed over a few minutes before it). My picture was no where near as good though . What did you use to get that?
