Should we expect the usual Shannon nutcases to be out? 🙄
"N42RF" is the reg for the WP-3D Orion. Its enroute to Bilbao at the moment. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n42rf
Might be worth keeping an eye out for this if it's broadcasting.

Might see faster tomorrow night, as those winds move further East. This is the current wind situation.
A BA flight managed a little faster.,
Some impressive speeds being achieved over the North Atlantic this evening with the very strong jetstream:
And lots of other tankers besides, up to DC-10 size.
Currently fighting the LA fires is ex CityJet EI-RJW
There’s an increasing amount of planes going there though, the price will drop in time
American Navy and Air force both heading to Shannon from Oslo and Rammstein atm. Heard the Navy passing over the house.
Ryanair flight from Faro to Cork diverting to Knock.
Both flights to Kerry this morning diverted away and the Heathrow flight into Shannon diverted to Dublin.
EICK Runway closed for at least the next 2 hours. 3 flights diverting now
I looked up the website for the camp - prices are $68,000 - $110,000 for a week. While that should discourage most, many of the dates are nearly booked out!
Keep tourists off Antarctica
Sidenote, but Flightradar24 put up these videos the other week. Real interesting insight into the tourist operation there!
Theres more videos in that series due to be released soon, including a flight on the aformentioned DC-3
FR3134 Pafos-Stansted diverted to Dublin, at 2am at night...good luck for the passengers to find a hotel now.
Meanwhile, FR5291 Dublin-Stansted diverting to...Glasgow; after being in the air for 2h20m
Yes it was a coincidence - KL895 had problems with the drinking water on board and KL835 had a hydraulic failure.
It is flying somewhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf%27s_Fang_Runway
Just coincidence or any reason why two different KLM flights bound for Asia turned back?
Flightradar24: Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map - KL835 to SIN turned back somewhere over Germany
Flightradar24: Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map - KL895 to PVG got as far as Azerbaijan
R3DN053 the most tracked tonight!! LOL🎅
Tonight's Emirates flight EK164 from Dublin to Dubai hasn't departed yet. Was due to got at 20:50, but reports on social media say there was a ground incident and possible damage to a door. Services were on standby but stood down. Latest is of departure sometime in the next half hour.
See that now, interesting.
Thanks
There’s SAM670 following (a Boeing C-32A or a modified 757 to most) - given that Antony Blinken has been in the Middle East for the past few days, it’s pretty obvious that the two flights are part of that trip and that he’s on the way back.
What are you asking?
Who's this now?

It is a Cavok aircraft - repainting probably not a priority as these aircraft are busy all the time. A
Doesn't look half as snappy as the Cavok air version of the same plane!

Spotted this lad taking off from Dublin earlier. By far the dirtiest exhaust I've seen from a plane in a long time.
