    Anyone notice the flight from the UK (Eastmidlands) at the moment.

    Seems to be a small aircraft doing a fair bit of circling around Shannon.

    I was thinking that it was waiting for clearance to land because of the flight ban from the UK.

    Is there another plane surveying in the south of Dublin, D16/D14 area - which is not visible on flightradar? Just woke up from it, seems to be flying low and making a few rounds. They may just have thought a few days before Christmas, is the best time to do this?

    Are corporate jets excluded from the Covid thing? I see a jet on approach to Dublin that took off from Florida earlier today.

    Ireland doesn't have a ban on flights from the US, if that's what you mean. That's a SNN diversion, by the way. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/TWY16/history/20201227/1510Z/KSUA/EINN

    What Covid thing? There’s no ban on flights from the US.

    There's a G550 on the tarmac in Kerry also atm that arrived in from New York.

    Presumably it's the negative test after 5 days or else maybe whatever they're here for is classified as "essential".

    There’s no requirement for that from the US either as far as I can see.

    There is a “request” for arrivals into the country to restrict their movements, and aircraft operators are asked to make this clear to passengers.

    Whether they follow these requests is another thing entirely of course.

    Think this plane flew over Kerry recently.... was very very noisy. What’s the story with it? Seems to be flying low as well. Felt like it nearly rattled the house!

    It's a useful aircraft for transporting loads that won't fit into other cargo aircraft, most turboprops have a max flight celling of around 30,000 feet of course this depends on winds aloft and fuel and cargo weight. The AN is quite an old aircraft designed before modern noise regulations were invented which is another reason it makes such a beautiful racket every time she graces our skies.

    it reminds me of my childhood walking home from football and hearing old noisy props (Fokkers, Saabs) when I hear the An-12

    Meant to post this earlier, but got distracted by other things going on here.

    Its been quiet over here in recent weeks at low level, but at 14:00 this afternoon, the Dublin SAR helicopter came over the town at 1500 Ft, which is lower than usual, so the rotor noise was different to the normal blade slap that we're well used to. I checked Flightradar just to be sure, in case it was something even larger and rare, and was surprised to see that at the same time, both the Shannon and Waterford SAR machines were in the air at the same time. I'm guessing that all 3 of them were on handover flights as a result of crew changes, but I have to admit, I've never seen all 3 in the air at the same time before.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Anyone know the story on the Luftwaffe Bombardier global 5000 is doing in SNN now? Used for German gov normally.

    Hardly maintenance? Or maybe refuelling for onward journey?
