Hi Guys, I've just watched this lad looping above me as I walked on the Mizen. Any idea what he's up to please?

There's an engineering company at Lasham, 2Excel, that may indicate its a test flight.

He spent about 20 mins around, passed up east and then went back West. Did see/hear him again, maybe continued Northish?

Could be a test run but seems a bit far, more likely photographing, a lot of that when the weather is good around here (which is all the time)

It's a very strange flight path, but he has finally landed at Leeds-Bradford Airport!

The Falcon 50 descending into Dublin is N770JD of Evangelical preacher Jesse Duplantis.

Must be a well paying gig for that kind of transport

I once saw one of those evangelicists making thousands of dollars every day across four big towns/cities in Arizona. He just packed up his show and took it to the next town the next day and his itinerary happened to be similar to mine. They were literally throwing money at him!

Oops!

Had to google him out of interest.... The first 2 mins of this is enough.... Crazy Yanks.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UjUQKg0VqA

Fecker is worth a fortune though!

Some interesting visitors, Citation and Phenom out of Ireland West just now

Were they looping over south Dublin this morning? Could hear some type of non commercial aircraft flying over several times sometime around 11 this morning.

Air Corps PC-9 trio, though they were flying straight and level.

Remind me

Fly past for Swedish State visit

Hi everybody, my very excited 12 year old just spotted DC3 (N8336C) over flying Sandymount, Dublin, in the last 15 mins or so, on it's way to Weston then to the UK and France for D-Day comemmerations, I guess, anyone know how long it might be staying in Weston ?

Think it's there until tomorrow.

Strong tail wind

Thanks, was on the flight. Pilot just said a warning they wanted to investigate.

No probs, they reported ‘strong tail wind’ to the tower but you never know, they may have just said that

Friend of mine who is out there this morning and spoke to one of the crew says he was told it will now be there for a few days for maintenance.

saw a c-130 going into Casement earlier. Is it US?

FR24 is so fascinating!

Can anyone tell me what this flight is all about??

That's 258 the Irish government jet.

It was likely either out on a training/post maintenance flight or it was headed to the UK and had to return for whatever reason

There were some amount of private planes today, strange.

Of topic, but there is also a boat tracker site that I don't remember the name of.
Might be of interest to you.

Total guess: perhaps an air ambulance/medical transfer flight that got stood down.

Though I suspect as a sailor, HH knows this already.

Remind me

Government jet has been undergoing maintenance so presumably post maintenance flight as said above

Indeed. Forgot to add in my original post 258 was at Biggin Hill for 2 weeks and only returned yesterday.

Oh I'm a regular on there, believe me! Between the two I can lose entire evenings to watching dots on a screen

And yes, I'd noticed a lot of private planes around when I saw the govt jet, didn't want to blitz the thread with silly questions though!

It was the flight over to Wales, turn around, and then multiple laps of what looked like a holding pattern that I wondered about. Given that the jet lives in Baldonnel (I think, anyway), there should be no need for holds like that.

The post-maintenance flight sounds like a reasonable explanation.

"Jet Management 028" long time in hold at EIKN. Looks like NOTAM ILS 26 unservicable due to the runway upgrade.

A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_C-17_Globemaster_III just landed in Shannon, quite a sight to be seen and surprisingly quiet.
