Flightradar24 Thread Part II

L1011

CFN-GLA is profitable but only if you have the frame in CFN to do it, so it always gets taken on by the PSO operator. Was PIK under Aer Arann in the past rather than GLA til they moved but there's been at least 2 a week for maybe 20 years

Flybe operated CFN-GLA while they did the PSO, Aer Lingus took up the PSO today and they decided to take up Glasgow with it.

Aw frappit, so Loganair's wee SF340s are off the Donegal routes? I've never yet caught a flight on a SAAB, foiled again.

Will have to wait to see if Stobart wetlease them again at any stage - used to cover maintenance for them but that still made them very hard to catch. DAT's ATRs have been the more recent regulars though.

Bad weather on the east coast has lead to some flights to BOS and NYC being cancelled. So far from Ireland its limited to EI134/135 SNN-BOS. A cynic might suggest this flight was actually cancelled due to bad loads and this flight disruption gave a good excuse.

It was part of the US Air Force.

FL360 and 415 knots are a bit ambitious for a 172!

It was a Miami Air B738, N732MA, broadcasting incorrect ICAO hex of A9DB8D.

This happens so frequently with Miami Air that it might well be corporate policy.

Creating electronic board games, games console peripherals and reverse-engineering inkjet printer cartridges can earn you a nice C680!

Cracking machine, but never really managed to compete against the King Air. Just a couple of hundred made.

Climbed like a rocket! I believe ATC treated them as jets.

Overhead Greenland at the moment is EI-FIA on delivery to Ryanair. EI-FIB is a few hundred miles behind it.

Small cluster of RAF aircraft.

There's also 2 C130s that I couldn't isolate using filters.

There are five Belugas, I think. They operate on a shuttle carrying wings from Hawarden to the final assembly lines in Germany and France.

I'm not sure where the wings for the Chinese production line are made, I would assume they aren't shipped from England.

Edit to reply to my own post

China's Xian Aircraft Industry is now sole supplier of wings to Airbus's A320 final assembly line in Tianjin.

Sharing of expertise from Airbus's UK wing factory, in Broughton, has facilitated the build-up of A319/A320 wing production capability for A319s and A320s at the AVIC subsidiary.

So the Belugas are only needed for the European FALs.

One of those is probably ZH870 with the marvellous callsign BRASSNECK 2, he has been back and forth up the Irish Sea since lunch time.
