This flew right over me just now, very distinctive sound although cloud cover (rain) all day so could not take a photo
747 landed and took off from Dublin airport this evening, very rare these days.
747 is some size compared to what's normally seen out the back window
Few go arounds at EIDW on 10L this morning. Operations now switched to RWY 16.
Yeah the QR flight was holding at 10R for take off and is now currently making its way to 16.
The An12 is due to take off shortly, heading to OST in BE.
Rare to see, but this is why keeping 16/34 usable was of course a good decision.
Delta A350 has requested to take off on one of the other runways as it's too heavy for RWY 16.
Seattle, London and Frankfurt all on second attempt at Dublin
Hard to see from here but did EIN105 just block RYR60WG (EI-EKT) on the runway and cause it to have a missed approach?
RYR didn't pull up until around 1km away. Then EIN105 looped back around and rejoined the queue…
Plenty to watch today in Dublin with the wind. EI164 toddling back to the gate after giving up waiting for takeoff.
Listen back to Twr1 at 1100Z and you'll hear the interaction from 2m 32s into the audio.

I think Ei105 was cleared for take-off and then was cancelled as RYR-WG was incoming…
FR662 to BHX is returning to gate due to conditions. EDIT: now rejoined the que again.
UA 767-400 to IAD as been sitting at the beginning of 10R for ages now and has already looped around once already.
UA229 called timing out, they'll shortly head back to stand. They did let the pax use the toilets a while back.
looks like Hainan flight about to go, must have left the stand about 90 minutes ago.
It did depart off 16 - presumably they re-did the calculations and were satisfied that it would work.
EI SFO flight now awaiting a 10R departure.
UA229 now back at stand, that's over 3 hours taxiing to nowhere.
RYR80CY FR805, Stanstead to Knock took a look at Dublin, gave up and is heading across the Irish Sea now.
surprised this went off 16. Must have been light?
I've seen EI A330s go off 16 to all of their US destinations. If the sums add up, it's entirely feasible, even off that 6,500-foot runway.
Windshear on 16 today. Tricky conditions.

Ryanair Dub to Edi this afternoon delayed and then did some circles over Edinburgh along the Forth before heading to Manchester.
Seems to have had 2 go arounds at Edi
Bristol to Knock seems to have 2nd thoughts. Have family landing there 4.45...hope calms down!
Anyone know what happened to FR5243 on April 7?
It was delayed due to storm in Ireland, so instead of take off at 22:25, it airborned at 4:29am next day,.. but after couple of hours it was DIVERTED to BGY Bergamo..
Really sorry for the passengers on board
Where are the passengers now? Still in Bergamo??
A loud plane flew over my house around 7am. It looks like it turned left/south very quickly after takeoff, instead of the usual north west turn first.
I thought that this was Weston space?
maybe Dublin airport fancied some complaints from a different area of Dublin.
Weston wasn't open yet in any case.
On Sunday an Istanbul to Dublin flight tried to land in Dublin and took a similar left turn before diverting to Manchester. Weston would have been open then.

Obviously the noise controversy is partially due to westbound takeoffs turning north west instead of going directly west, apparently to alllow for GAs. The Istanbul GA and CDG flights seem to contradict this.
So when winds at Dublin were out of limits for an airliner to land, Weston was active, with aircraft flying? The Paris departure you reference took off on 28L, by the way.
