An Aviation Gate 777, I've never heard of them.
BA192 DFW - LHR B787-10 currently diverting to SNN.
Two ATRs on the way from SNN from Toulouse with ABR flight numbers…..new aircraft?
Yeah delivery flights. EI GUM and EI GUP. There in FedEx livery.
US MIL Hercules C130 out of Belfast/Aldergrove, crossing the Irish border heading South-West.

Heading straight to... gggg... Galway?
Is it another private viewing session at the Cliffs of Moher...?
Edit: 12:06: Just flew over Longford...
Possibly routeing to Lajes, Azores, or else Spain.
But now on a reciprocal track back to Belfast - change of plan, perhaps.
Tis coming back.. must have forgot something.
edit...sources tell me it was a humanitarian mission to drop slabs of can's to limerick city after the introduction of minimum unit pricing at the start of the week.
Heard it there go over my house in cavan, Some hum out of it!
What the hell would be so interesting in Berwick upon Tweed 🤣
Antonov AN-124, currently over the north sea, ex Gdansk, Poland is en route to Shannon, eta 1619 this afternoon. Hopefully it crosses over Glenageary!
Thanks for the heads up, looking forward to hearing it - haven't heard one in ages.
I've no idea why the sound of something that I can't even see, for about 30 seconds, pleases me so much, but it does!
Although it looks like it's tracking north a bit above the rhumb line ☹
Just passed over Bray...I could hear it, but not see it.
Yeah, I think I barely heard it, it passed too far south for me, at 23k feet . Bah.

Nice callsign up out of shannon
anyone know the squawk code?
Possibly just due fog? It was CAT3 in Dusseldorf yesterday morning, had a smooth autoload. The fog is hanging around. Eindhoven is only ILS CAT1 equipped? So may have been out of limits
763 out of SNN flew to Northern Norway, did a few orbits and now en route back to SNN. No call sign/reg on FR24.
Probably planned go to Bardufoss but couldn't get in due to weather so headed back to SNN as relief crew there and better options than diverting to somewhere in Norway.
I haven't been able to view planes on the radarbox.com website map running on Firefox for quite a few weeks. I can of course use another browser, the associated app on my phone, or flightradar24, but was curious as to whether it's just me - anyone else see this issue? I wonder if I've inadvertently changed changed a setting that I can't now identify.
In another sign that things might be returning to normal, French ATC are going on strike from tomorrow evening. Expect the Tango Oceanic routes off the south coast to be hopping as a result.
Garda chopper on the ground in or very close to the Phoenix park.
Can you view that on flightracker ??
I use this one : https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ you can see it when its up.
C17 on the way into SNN, has done a flyover of the airfield at 2000ft or so and seems to be coming around again to join the approach.
what site do you use, BZ?
Flightradar app. It was visible on that tonight
For the times that we are in, an interesting NATO activity occurs daily which you can observe through ADSB Exchange.
A Boeing KC-135R/T Stratotanker (air refuelling platform) takes off from RAF Mildenhall around 08:40 each morning, flying East. Just afterwards a "Boeing B703 E-8C Joint STARS" aircraft takes off from Ramstein in Germany flying East/North-East. Both aircraft rendezvous above central Poland for refuelling.
The Joint STARS is a ground surveillance and command & control platform which has a large radar slung under the main-body like a canoe. As you can read from the aircraft's Wikipedia page, it has the capability of detecting hundreds of moving vehicles and monitor troop movements through Doppler detection as well as having an advanced camera a communications suite.
On rendezvous the Stratotanker enters into an oval loop and the E-8C lines up and prepares to refuel, even though it's only 1 hour into it's mission. The E-8C normally then disables its mode-S transponder so becomes invisible to ADSB, but you can sometimes see it enter into the airspace above Ukraine, Georgia, Latvia and other Eastern European states. The Stratotanker appears to have a sole purpose of refuelling the E-8C and quickly returns to the UK rather than refuelling additional aircraft.
It would then loiter around these regions for a period of maybe 8 hours before returning to Ramstein. This pattern is most likely continued in a shift rotation to monitor the Russian activities.
These links won't work unless the aircraft is airborne:

E-8C:
Two USAF air tankers with two F15s currently about a couple of hundred miles off the north west coast of Donegal
