When I seen EI911 all I could think of is how unfortunate that flight number is.

Why?

Are you one of those who gets a bit excited about September 11th 2001? Or the US emergency phone number? In which case, what about any 112 Flight numbers?

I don't get this idea that the number might be unfortunate.

That one looks to have a spot of bother at the moment as it descended to FL100 overhead Santiago de Compostela! I wonder what's up

Edit- Ryanair site has it diverting to Faro for "operational reasons"

Jaysus no need to get defensive, I think its a funny coincidence with the 9/11 incident in America.

Technically that date was 119 what with it being the 11th day of the ninth month and all;)

Both are equally correct. Technically 11inches is 27.94cm (weird fact I remember) and visa versa. They are just different formats.

I'd be more weary of Flight 191

I have taken flight FR666 on multiple occasions and its one that makes me chuckle every time.

surely they could have picked another name, though i guess people dont really bother about it.

I wonder if it was an EI would it be EI666 and for the laugh name the plane St Lucifir.

Haha no, that just flies parts needed for maintenance around. Its far cheaper than using a 737.

Indeed!

I didn't realise they were still flying!

NASA personnel at Ellington Field have outfitted the Super Guppy with a specially designed cradle to be used when carrying International Space Station components.

Looks sharp.

That caught my eye too, it's a US Army plane isn't it? Any idea where the flight originated given it's relatively short range?

Yes, KEF I assume. That is where it came from before.

Obviously people in here fly around often enough, some in their daily jobs, but I thought doing a leg to Vegas in a 747 warranted a mention :P
