C17 on approach to knock at the moment 2 more due later
American P-8 Poseidon currently heading north just off the Kerry coastline. Tracking those Russians we struggle to watch?
I guess it's also related to the up-coming visit.
Two Globemasters just arrived into Dublin in the last hour. Both appear to be unloading on various aprons.
Flight calibrating after midnight last night.
Any idea on a timeframe for the other 2?
They have all been in and gone. They unloaded in about an hour. Two into Knock, two into Dublin and a Hercules currently on the West apron in Dublin now.
Has Weston always had an IATA code? First time I've ever seen it.
Good question and a good point, I don't believe I've seen one prior to this either. Perhaps someone with more knowledge may know.
I don't believe it does. Searching QIW or Weston on https://www.iata.org/en/publications/directories/code-search/ yields no results. Googling QIW IATA comes up with Umm al Quwain in the UAE, now closed.
Sorry only seen this now.Last 1 departed the last 40min.
C17 over Clane just now, looks to be going into Dublin or Casement (?)
Chinook taking an interesting route in Dublin now

Four Irish Air Corp PC-9M were out and about over south Dublin earlier today, didn't manage to get a picture but they could easily be heard!
Edit: They did a fly-over of O'connoll street as part of the 1916 Easter Rising ceremony outside the GPO.
C17 into Shannon earlier. Assuming carrying some backup stuff for Biden.
2 Chinooks making their way towards Shannon at the moment. A nice sound for some in the night sky
Chinook just flew over my house in Kildare. Some sound from it. Seems to be heading Southwest. Odd direction given Biden isn’t venturing in that direction. Maybe they’re off for a spin?
Chinook in close convoy with a smaller chopper flying quite low heading West towards Shannon 15 minutes ago. Nearly lifted the house... 🙄
Or possibly two Chinooks (which is what was planned to fly Baldonnel-Shannon today).
It was 2 Chinooks, Some sound over the house. 10pm at 1500 feet.... Rare sight in this part of the world!
What was it?
I see people are reporting 2. Maybe i missed the first one.
The noise was such, there could have been two.
There was 2 of them, USAF Boeing CH-47F Chinook's. Big chopper's double rotars on both, have a google if your board and awake....
Is it connected to Biden security?
I'm glad to hear it wasn't Air Ambulance.
Yes, the country has been flooded with air force aircraft all week doing deliverys. They've even brought over their own fuel trucks for refueling. Have been landing at Shannon, Knock, Belfast, Baldonnel and Dublin all last week.
Thank you! I'll be watching out for the next few days.
There's loads of video's on youtube of what has been landing in the country over the last week.
Usual stuff wherever the president goes, they always have their own fuel trucks and stairs. The one for trumps visit in 2019 had the trucks flown in from England.
Spar17 active at Andrews airbase now.

Not a presidential flight.
