How did you manage to get the registration number?

Sitting minding my own business and I hear a rumbling, though it was a truck roaring down the road but it went on for ages. Went out and looked up and there EIICD making straight for Shannon according to Flightradar24

After winning French Open last week, Polish tennis player Iga Świątek came back home flying from Paris to Warsaw (with stopover in Salzburg). No surprise how flight number looked like.

3 large Air Force aircraft just North of Amsterdam in the North sea right now. RAF, USAF and NLAF and another appears to be joining them from Brize Norton. Beluga just south of Cardiff also.

its easy spot the interesting aircraft when the sky's are so clear!

Lately Aer Lingus have been repositioning aircraft to BHD . This afternoonEI992 DUB-BHD turned South of Dundalk and headed back to Dublin, never climbed above 4700ft so I assume it was an exercise ?

Yep, planned - LRD was grounded for a few months awaiting a new sharklet. EI-DUO A330-200, will be doing similar in Shannon after 7pm.

EI reuse the 99x flight numbers and flight radar gets confused

LRD is finally fixed, airframe vibration due a issue with a sharklet

goingnowhere

DUO is up as EI994

These are scheduled cargo flights, it was only on the ground 90 minutes!

Just passed overhead here in Donegal now on the way to Reykjavik! Really distinctive noise made me immediately check flightradar

Was just looking at that. Something flew south over Dublin about 20 mins ago and didn't show up on flightradar. It had a slow flashing white beacon.

Some noise out of it.

Why do F35's be identified on trackers. Is for safety in crowded air space that atc has to see them?

ASL 747 maybe?? It showed up on flight radar as an A320 for some reason

An EC35 has been up for some while.

As in the F35 lightning stealth fighter?

If so, military aircraft rarely need to "hide" from civilian ATC. If they are "approved" to operate in the country they are in, IE if they are from that country's military, or an ally, then they can essentially do what they want. Military aircraft, or "operational air traffic" as they are known, may fly under rules known as "due regard". This means they are not obliged to talk to civilian ATC or follow any instructions, but would normally still squawk to let ATC know where they are out of courtesy. Under due regard, it is their responsibility to avoid civilian traffic and minimise any impact they will have on civilian traffic and ATC as much as they can.

These rules also apply in international airspace. Each country "owns" their airspace within 12 nautical miles of their coast, and any foreign military aircraft entering that 12nm buffer without the permission of that country's government would be in breach of international law. Control of international airspace beyond this 12 nautical miles is delegated by ICAO, which is a UN body. So for example, airspace up to about 300 nautical miles west of Ireland is controlled from Shannon. (300nm is about the limit that secondary radar can see an aircraft up at 30 whatever thousand feet, the lower the aircraft is flying, the closer it needs to be for radar to see it due curvature of the earth). Anything beyond this 300nm is "procedural" airspace, where time is used to separate aircraft rather than distance. Under radar, we must keep aircraft at least 5nm apart if at the same flight level. In procedural airspace, they used to be kept ten minutes apart, but there are reduced separations now used for aircraft equipped with a technology called ADSB, as there is now a network of satellites which can track aircraft using this technology. Eventually, it is envisaged that these airspaces beyond radar coverage will use ADSB to provide the same "surveillance" separations that are currently provided within airspace that have radar coverage.

So for example, when Russian Bears or Blackjacks fly 100 miles off the west coast of Ireland, they are in international airspace and are not doing anything illegal, but the RAF will send some Typhoons up to fly alongside them, and these Typhoons will squawk so we can see them, and by extension know where these Russian aircraft are and keep civilian aircraft away from them.

So in essence, military aircraft are under no obligation to let civilian ATC know they are there, but normally do out of courtesy.

Last night’s RIX-DUB stopped in Hamburg for a bit.

I notice the geological survey plane hasn't been showing up. It flew over my house the last two Sundays and again today. Perhaps other times, but I wasn't home. Didn't show up on FR any of those times. It was super low today. I'm rubbish at estimating distance, but low enough to see the pilot as it banked. Always happens too fast to snap a quick photo too.

Generally flies at 200 feet AGL during surveying in less built-up areas, usually way too low to be in line of sight of a FR24 receiver unless there’s one very close by.

Presumably to lose some bags, if Air Baltic are still delivering their usual wonderful customer care!

Couple of missed approaches right now incl the AF 777 due to wind sheer.
