Oh my God, that is amazing!!!!

I see BAW459 from Madrid to Heathrow flying towards Edinburgh! And BAW238 from Boston to Heathrow seems to be going around in circles at South Shields! Heathrow must be only allowing planes to land with very long gaps in between (there's probably a term for that!). Hope these planes don't run out of fuel!

Great links there. Could spend some time on that site. Thanks for posting.

They had flown from Istanbul so probably wouldn't have had excessive reserves, had DUB closed again before they got down. If they were among the first to divert to SNN they would have been ahead of the rush there as well.

The Turkish 737 had been holding northwest of Dublin for over an hour after its 4.5 hour flight from Istanbul.
He only opted to divert to Shannon when ATC could not give a definite estimate on when runway 10 would re-open following the initial de-icing.

Of course as soon as he diverted the de-icing was completed but only a few aircraft managed to land after that before the runway was again closed due to very poor braking reports.

Many thanks for the link. Another addiction I fear dear Watson:D

Radarvirtuel - there are dots all over the place that don't appear to be over towns etc.

There is now a version available for the iPhone , it's called Plane Finder on the Apps Store .

crushproof · 28-01-2010 04:28AM

Just heard plane over Dun Laoghaire so checked it out! what a great service.

But didn't realise flights arrived in Dublin at this hour?! It was Aer Lingus Gatwick to Dublin.

You know Dublin/Cork/Shannon are 24/7 Right?

EchoIndia · 28-01-2010 09:02PM

Dublin traffic has been landing runway 34 the last few nights as work is being carried out on 10/28. That brings traffic in over Dublin Bay.

Fatfrog · 31-01-2010 01:25AM

Theres a good plug in for google earth that tracks flights using ADS-B.

http://ei7dar.com/aircraft.html

Similar one also for tracking boat movement around the Irish coast.

The green dots are receiving stations that are online, the orange ones are offline.

Can anyone explain what the hell this is, besides maybe a drunk pilot/disaster?:pac:

Su Campu · 15-02-2010 11:46PM

Surely at this time of night there would be swarms of traffic Over North Eastern Canada about to cross the atlantic.

And why doesnt it show any of the USA traffic. There is only like 30 planes showing now over USA. I can guaranteee at least 1000 more would be in the sky right now!!!

If you zoom in you'll see that there are only a handful of antennae in the US (green dots), so the planes you see are within around 100 miles of each of them. There are no antennae near the Atlantic

What plane is that up there??
