    Was wondering. Heard the heli fly over my head in Cork and have been tracking it since. Couldn't see anything on Marine Traffic.

    It has flown Abuja to Shannon, Shannon to Larnaca, Larnaca to Misrata, Misrata to Shannon and Shannon to Larnaca so far this week. A bit of fun tracking it.

    it wasn't about the plane per se, rather where it's been and why

    it was sarcasm... I'm fascinated too... I just think it's funny how the US get flak all the time when a plane that is obviously being used by the Turkish/Russian backed setup in Libya gets a wave through

    Is this the same IL62 that’s bringing cola concentrate out of SNN?

    Not sure about that, but the cola concentrate was keeping a daily Turkish/ACT B744F busy on SNN-ATL for years after the Coca Cola facility got fattened by a hurricane in Puerto Rico. Might still be what's going on the JFK flights by the same aircraft now.

    This near daily 747 movement is fuel stop only but can pick up cargo if required but haven't seen any loaded in quite some time.

    Yes the IL62 has done the 3 trips into SNN to pick up the Pepsi concentrate, about 35 tonne each trip

    There have been several survey aircraft operating over the country lately - at least five this morning. They all have strange flight paths if you want to look at them that way. https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/001560492.html

    Including Irish. Westair in Shannon, who I believe work for the Ordnance Survey among others, had at least one up today and yesterday, as they do most days with suitable weather

    Seems to have been many mapping/surveying flights over the last few days.
    I guess good weather and so little other traffic makes it a good time to do. Quite a few off shore too. There's been a few night ones in UK too, complained about by residents. The operators cite more stable air at night. So many private planes/gliders etc out in the good weather it's probably less crowded at night.

    examples Bioflight, BIO02 BIO05, RVL Aviation REV6AF, Ravenair RVR7ng,
    Private
    DIWAW, FGPXR, N980AE,

    G-WKTS (Beech 90 King Air) and HB-GLB(Beech B200 Super King Air) both running race track pattern, most probably both doing survey work. There was a Beech out of EGNX over on a recce flight last evening.
