Came to ask the same thing, circling at 2200 ft around finglas, Glasnevin and Ballymun..

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.

https://planefinder.net/flight/AC112

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?

https://planefinder.net/flight/AC112

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

Would that be around Mach Loop ?
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

Virgin Atlantic lax-dub 787 Dreamliner in landed in Dublin this morning, is this a new route?

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.

As noted about VS got a cargo contract.
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:

~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.

I notice this morning that aircraft north of me (Clonmel)that would normally be visible (over Roscreas/Durrow) are not visible this morning, presumably because they are not making contrails.

They are quite high (38,000) , I wonder is this the reason?

I think it may be due to the lower humidity at the levels the aircraft are flying.

Contrails only form if the humidity levels are high enough for condensation of the water vapour from the exhaust gases to take place. Probably

very dry at altitude today, hence no contrail formation.

Or maybe the Chemtrails system was inoperative ? :):)

If the ambient levels of Dihydrogen Monoxide are already high enough, they don't bother turning them on

This operation is expensive and airlines have to cut costs!

No idea but it descended really fast down tp about 2000 meters. Safely on the ground now.

Not sure what the usual descent is but the app was saying -12m/s

Two jets circling over Stansted now too. RYR pulled off to the North west (beside "hangar 4")of the airport and disabled ADS-B from what I can tell.

"Hangar 4" appears to be a new isolated apron, but there is currently no hangar in that location.

12m/s would be 720m per minute or ~2400 feet per minute, which is a pretty normal rate.

Allegedly a note was found on board that caused concern.

If I found a note like that in the jacks I'd be very tempted to flush it away and say nothing!

Maybe it's because I'm an aviation geek but if I saw RAF fighters escorting me in that'd make for a kind of exciting day. I think the chances of a bomb on a plane from Poland to Ireland is fairly non existant and if there were one a note in the toilet tipping you off even more unlikely. I appreciate the average punter may be terrified but to be honest nervous people probably shouldn't be flying in a pandemic...

smurfjed

I understand that a nice new B777-300 BBJ will cross Ireland at around 3-4am as it crosses towards the STU VOR. It probably won’t show on FR24.

Hello - a flightradar novice, so I hope my question isn't too trivial:

Does the callsign 'TRITN11' indicate a military aircraft? Just had this one fly over my head - it seemed to originate from nowhere, then fly around in circles for a bit before heading off - quite odd.
