Even more on the way... 2 sets of tankers going round north at the moment.
These one with F-15's... looks to be 12 total... they'll be noisier than the F-22's the other night
As above, a training flight, probably doing approaches or touch and go's. 990/991/992/993/994 etc are codes for training or positioning flights. (Delivery flights are usually 4 digit starting with 2)
AN 12 UR-CEZ should rumble over Dublin soon on the way into Shannon.

Off the coast of N Wales/ Holyhead just now.
These also dropped off a few f15s off the west coast this evening before returning to the Azores . Rivet Joint also flew over Ireland west to east around 8pm with Clean13 routing to the north around 9pm.
I'm approx 5 miles south of Nenagh and the closest it got to me was about 10 miles.
Could hear the rumble loud and clear!
over 50 deployed jets at Lakenheath. The ones that landed last night are supposedly out today also…. massive push of equipment east, along with an exodus of C-17's west.
FR24 down this morning.
Working fine here
The Rivet Joint was an RAF aircraft returning to Waddington from the USA.
In that case why do I get this? :

Whatever you are getting, I’m not seeing - the app is working fine on my phone and has been all morning.
Clear your cache perhaps?
Early morning flights from Dublin to Dubai & Abu Dhabi have turned around near Greece and are heading back to Dublin.
This guy has gone sightseeing.
Flightradar had a massive surge in visitor web traffic this morning due to obvious reasons, so their servers were struggling with the load. Theyve spun up extra servers to cope with the demand it seems.
EK449 - took off from AKL headed for DXB, was then sent to Singapore to divert. For some reason it then turned around back to AKL. 13 hours flight to end up back where you started is rough!
Better to bring at least some pax home than have everyone in a third country.
Correct. It's the lesser of several evils
Seems like the majority of the airborne Emirates aircrfat were instructed to return to their origin. Easier to manage the recovery back at the initial point of origin.
I always had it in the back of my head wondering if the location of the ME3 Hubs had to the potential to be a massive Achilles Heel. Sure; location is ideal for connections between Asia and Europe and the Oil-rich states could finance huge long-haul fleets for the job, but the airspace was always bordered with a potential warzone.
I’m wondering how much of a distruption they can handle before people get used to the idea of using alternative airlines such as those who take the polar route to Far East Asia instead.
Finnair had a quite lucrative market before the Russian invasion - By flying over Russian airspace they could get from Helsinki to Japan in ~9 hours, meaning a single aircraft could do Helsinki-Tokyo-Helsinki in about 24 hours.
Now it takes them ~13.5 hours to get to Tokyo, on par with most other EU carriers.
Yea, I feel bad for poor old Finnair there. I remember a good deal of their pre-war marketing focusing in them being the «Shortcut to Asia», which was true…until Russia ruined that on them. Now they have to go the polar route.
True but after about 4 hours, it got updated as “diverting to Singapore” wonder why it didn’t turn back then to AKL.
It diverted to AKL. Maybe it took some time for EK Ops to decide what to do with all of their airborne aircraft. 😐️
yeah, agreed I’m sure it was a nightmare for them. My point is, I’m curious why they initially sent it towards Singapore when all others were returning to origin.
EY67 AUH-LHR has departed AUH. First passenger plane to depart since Saturday. EY41 AUH-AMS seems to be taxiing.

Unclear if pax are on board but most welcome to see life in this part of the world again.
A LH A380 departed AUH for Munich earlier this morning, though just positioning.

A roscommon texter to Newstalk just said that there are some amount of military planes overflying their area in the past few days. Is that true?
Is what true? It's a very vague assertion and I wonder did the person offer anything to support it. I'm not sure what "some amount" is - anything from one upwards, I suppose.
I was think that "in their area is subjective" as well. Saturday morning and Saturday evening, if the sky was clear maybe you'd be getting good contrails, but looking at Monday, it's just the Casa, and two air corps helis.
