Sorry to disappoint you, but Shannon had more commercial movements in 2014 than cork. Info here : https://www.iaa.ie/index.jsp?p=117&n=255

Cork's my favourite one to listen to after Dublin. Of course Dublin is ridiculously more busy, but Cork has plenty enough going on most of the time. Certainly more than Shannon!

It's the higher standard and ability of the EI pilots that you have to admire. Landing their machines on a little runway on the top of a hill with crazy cross winds.

All jokes aside......something needs to be done about traffic at Cork

So every other companies pilots who use Cork aren't to the same standard?

Do you not admire the braveness of a Ryanair pilot landing on Shannons south-Westerly facing, 3000m long runway?

Shannon has all different types of aircraft landing, for training, diversions, fuel stops etc, rather than the Usual EI and Fr planes at cork. If you want to be impressed, look at funchal airport.


Anyway Im not gonna let this turn into another cork vs Shannon thread.

Words cannot describe what that post was

Stobart's EI-REH is taking a jaunt from Edinburgh south, looks to be either heading for Manchester or else further south to Cardiff/Bristol. STK100P.

"Off Topic Thread #2", that's what this place should be called since you all are looking for a new name.

:mad: :rolleyes:

All of these are at 600kt+. Some over 650kt. Looks like they may pick up even more speed as they catch that jet stream.

Indeed.

This the FR24 thread....not the DUB wildlife thread, not the ORK vs DUB thread.

I will be deleting OT post tomorrow morning.

Lets keep this thread focused on FR24 information and events.

N744AX ABX Air b762 into Shannon from Dublin this morning. Is this a regular flight. I've never noticed it before ?

It is, but it's normally done by Star Air, I think it's daily and comes in from Cologne.

You're right, N744AX on is a sub to operate the Cologne - Dublin - Shannon UPS package flights for a few weeks.

Came over from the USA last week, I think it's filling-in for OY-SRJ.

Also, Star's only B763 OY-SRS is in Shannon at present for tech work.

A rare one inbound from the west now

Over on the NI Aviation forum they tracked this one into Belfast and then on to Cairo!

Keep an eye on this rare bird, one of 2Excel's pollution-control 727s is airborne out of Doncaster. Looks like an air test

That's strange. It's meant to be Newcastle to Bergen via Aberdeen.

That's why there are extra aircraft showing up..

New requirement for aircraft with a MTOW above 5700KG or that have a TAS of above 250knots to be fitted with ADS-B.
