How did you manage to get the registration number?

Some loops!

It is with the PSNI alright, G-CGTC,a Britten Norman Defender.

Some loops!

adsbexchange's MLAT (the method of triangulating aircraft using remote stations) leaves a lot to be desired. I'd commonly see 500m to 1km jumps in routes just because they seem to allow too much variance in the timing.
So you end up getting really sloppy paths with jagged edges.
But hey, it's free!

Take a plane for a spin?

Sure, why not?

A UPS Shannon to Dublin just went over the house. A 767, quite unusual, got a bit excited!

Think that's a daily flight and then on to Cologne.

No way! Must keep an eye out for it in future, love seeing them on a sunny day like this.

That’s been daily since before all this covid kerfuffle, Prob never noticed because of the skies being so busy.....! It’s nice to see an old Boeing with no winglets flying about tho

Far from old, the 1 we turned around that day is 5 years old!! Service going back to A306 soon

Really? I’d didnt realize.. I though winglets were as standard on the 767 now

I believe that you will find that winglets only become cost effective on certain routes.

I always thought the cost effectiveness was because of the cost of instillation and if they are factory installed (like the 737) then over the course of a frames lifetime they will be of huge benefit as they don’t carry the same instillation costs

Interestingly, the Split Schimiter winglets you see these days on many 737NG’s are not factory installed, and Boeing even buy back the factory fitted winglets and use them again on other frames

I’d just like to thank the threadstarter for putting (and other trackers) on. My go-to is OpenADSB, followed by Planefinder. FR24 only if the other 2 don’t catch it.

Consensus back in the mists of time was that FR24 was the most used app/site.
But suggestion was made a few weeks that the other resources are being used a lot more. Hence the addition of the text in brackets.

Rescue 92? Currently hovering overhead Donabate beach at about 50ft, must be somebody in water, lowered recovery board

The fuel burn from carrying the extra weight of the winglets is only offset by improved aerodynamic efficiencies on flights above a certain length, hence why JAL had no winglets on their domestic configured 747-400s. I seem to recall reading the flight needs to be over roughly 4 hours long for them to be worthwhile on the B744.

Interesting one into Shannon later N519SW,an A660. In around 6.30pm

Ei had a similar issue with the A320 sharklets, they can be retro fitted but the mods on older wings are costly. The pay back doesn't make a lot of sense on short sectors.

Also the crosswind limits are higher on the winglets vs sharklets, so you see A320's land in Dublin when 737NG's are outside limits.

Used to be a Southwest 737-500. Odd that someone would reuse the NxxxSW registration.

L1011

Owner name suggests why they went SW - SCIARA & WHITTINGTON AIR & GROUND

I had a feeling something was wrong when I saw the coastguard hovering over the lake on Flightradar.

I wonder is this on firefighting duty up around the Cooley Peninsula?

N3796B,C130,is due into Shannon shortly after 7pm. An interesting one.
