There were about six of them out and about in the same area and over Wales about 10 days ago and I wondered the same but never got around to asking! RAF, I'm assuming....

Training flights from RAF Valley on Anglesey most likely.

RAF use Hawks for training, also for Red Arrows. Although they don't seem to be the Red Arrows version.

BAe Hawk T.2s based at RAF Valley, near Holyhead. Hawks have been based there since the late 1970s. They seem to have recently become "unblocked" on FR24.

Hi guys.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while and just happened to catch it this evening and be online at the same time.

I live in Islandbridge and AC112 flies over the apartments most days and lands in the Phoenix Park.

Anyone know why it lands there with such regularity? St Mary's?

Is the route above Baldonnel>Custume Bcks>Our Lady of Lourdes>Phoenix Park and back to Baldonnel?

Id would sell my soul to visit that site with proper camera gear

Mach loop is a good 90min drive from Holyhead, it's a good hike up the hill though from the road, there is a gate that ya can open and drive up but depends if the farmer has put a lock on it.

Handy now that Hawks seem to be on FR, Be able to know when they're near.

I've been there once as i'm from North Wales, but with the crappy weather we have in this region it'd be a nightmare to make the trip and low cloud

It’s a cargo flight.

EICVD

Anyone know why an Eastern 767 was in DUB the last couple nights? Heard it roaring out on departure both nights around 1am.

LXFlyer

It went from Washington to Baghdad and back via Dublin and Rome.

Was covered in Flying in Ireland about 5-6 weeks

In Cardigan Bay where they perform a lot of training. No type-code though...

Ah, thanks. Typical - would have seen the wee display if they had been doing it an hour or two earlier when I was cycling along the coast :pac:

Unlucky! Was meant to happen at 1pm, but for some reason only got going later

~6 Hawks milling around the west coast of Britain from Scotland to Wales. Just noticed them by unusual icon shape on FR24. Don't suppose we could have a couple fly by the east Irish coast - starved of noisy jets this year :pac:

Lockheed Super Hercules prop flying over the Midlands. Near Athlone at the moment. Heading Wexford direction.

The ADS-B site it shows it as French.

Four Phucs Ache

Heard that but couldn't see it, flew over me near portarlington with a lovely drone , flight radar told me it was at 29000 or so. Wife told me to calm down.

What is a blocked aircraft does anyone know?

Flying Westwards towards US/Canada. It's in the mid Atlantic just below Iceland at the minute and took off from Stockholm.

Thanks.

Edit: delighted there's a thread on boards for this. For a few years now, myself and a few friends have a few beers, sit out and watch the sky and flight radar simultaneously. Sometimes have ATC on too 😅. Also love to do it when on holidays.

This?

Thanks for help but no, don't think it was that. That seems to be a FedEx from Liege to Memphis?

The one I was tracking is now gone off radar. Below is what showed at 10:30 this morning.

Just curious as to what "blocked" is. I've seen military and it'll say/ come up as Hawk etc. Or private planes will say private. But this just said blocked.

In my experience they’re usually military. Generally private planes will show the aircraft type but not the reg/callsign. But essentially it’s one that FR24 have blocked details of at the request of the owner/operator.
