If you know the reg (EI, or G or N.etc) log into that countries aircraft register . In the case of EI reg the IAA publish a monthly list.
Thanks.
I tracked a lockheed.
It left LA and flew to milan, was owned by a debt management agency with offices on Sunset boulevard ...
Anyone know who SPAR15 was carrying this morning? They landed at EIME about 9am
Rep. Richard Neal and a bipartisan congressional group on a trip to Europe affirming US support for Northern Ireland.
They started in Brussels for a NATO visit, then London, Kerry, Dublin and finishing off in Belfast.
there was a number of swanky helicopters flying around the general shannon area this morning , assume the same ?
These two yesterday (Sunday morning ) off west cork coast?
This just passed overhead - the drone off it!! I heard it from inside the house.
An unusual bird to see in Ireland.
That must be an error in the FR24 database. The aircraft was a Gulfstream IV. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/PEG9/history/20220526/0900Z/EINN/LSZH
Boo. Shame. This was far more fun when I was imagining that Shannon was the only suitable landing site and that they would have to extend a refueling line out to the 'harbour'.
The pictured aircraft has its landing gear retracted, so it has the ability to land on the runway in Shannon or in the water of the estuary close by if the tide was in😀.
As an aside there is a fuel line all the way out to the "harbour" in Shannon too. There is a jetty for the tankers to offload JetA into the storage facility, so technically fuels "should" be able to flow both ways!!
Except the pump to shift the fuel is located aboard the tanker and not ashore, so they'd need to use buckets... 😉
Haha strangely enough I should have known that!
Before aviation I was an Electro Tech on BP tankers up to 2001. Looking up the names of the ones I sailed on shows that all have gone to the scrapper over the years even my favourite the British Argosy (IMO #8817667).
I only ever shifted crude oil on tankers, but about 2 million barrels a pop. Not a very exciting cargo, so I quickly downsized to more interesting ships.
Emerald Airlines EI3326 Dub-Man Squawked the 77's off Anglesey and is turning back to Dublin.
**edit: back on the ground in Dublin. Radio dialogue suggests it may be a damaged windscreen
Listening to the ATC after landing, when they asked if he wanted to stop for an inspection or if he could taxi back to a stand. They said they could taxi, it was only the left (or right) windscreen that was completely smashed and they could still see out the other side.
Huh, spotted a DUB bound Ryanair go around at half 11pm on a reasonably calm night. I wonder what spooked him?
Can anyone explain this to me...
So there was a queue for the runway; going on for quite a long time I thought.
Then, all of a sudden an Aer Lingus plane cuts through the queue to take off. Mostly Ryanair planes in front etc. were still in the queue.
Just wondering why that Aer Lingus jet was allowed to cut through and bypass the queue like that?
The plane at the top of the queue was an Air Canada plane that must have been waiting 25 minutes in that queue to take off.
Maybe they all missed their slots so were deprioritised.
Ah, I wasn't aware that some sort of prioritisation existed.
Makes sense, I suppose. Thanks!
A plane just flew over my house on the way to land in Shannon. Had a look on flight radar and it says it's a bristol to Cancun flight,,,any idea on why it's being diverted?
http://avherald.com/h?article=4f9ab445&opt=0
two possible reasons without spending a while digging into the precise history.
It's possible that they couldm't get out of Bristol with full trip fuel and the stop in shannon is a technical stop for additional fuel. Depends on the aircraft type, how full it is with passengers and bags, and the weather en route, the runway at Bristol is a difficult shape, and there may have been some limitations on the flight as a result. It departed on the easterly direction, and that is more limiting than the "normal" westerly direction, the slope at the east end is quite severe to start a take off roll, and would limit performance. FR24 is showing 2 occasions where it's diverted to shannon, so I suspect that it's a fuel uplift.
The other possible is that it's got a technical snag of some sort, and needs engineer attention.
TUI have been making regular stops there on that route recently so it must be for fuel
Thank you both. Planes in recent years are passing over my house on the turn for Shannon. I love guessing the altitude and seeing where they've come from.

Excuse my ignorance - is that one leg?
It's non-stop if that's what you meant.
