BA0824 only touching down now... im not impressed as im supposed to be on the outbound to LHR.. however Guinness and the match in the gate clock is not objectional.. well apart from the price of the pint

Ah always wondered what aircraft that was, cheers

Just read that the other day during the French strike a Ryanair wasn't communicating (maybe had comms switched elsewhere cos ya know..ATC on strike) anyway eventually the French say ""You are being intercepted by military aircraft". Priceless

This can happen a lot more than you may think, we crossed into Greece a few days ago on the correct frequency, they couldn't hear us, Cairo were also calling us, and typically for a situation like this, our boss in another aircraft following us started calling us on 121.5...... When we finally made contact with Greece, we were changed to about 6 different frequencies in the course of 15 minutes.:)

It was a fun flight as we were at 43000 feet, minding our own business and wondering if Paris would be open by the time we got there, when we got told turn left 5 degrees to AVOID TRAFFIC! Sure enough a Global Express at exactly the same level and opposite direction, he got close enough to us to register on the TCAS.

Fun day

AF65 & AF83:

I love how AF 65 and 83 always manage to sort of keep each other company most mornings on their respective journeys from LA and SFO to CDG. They always seem to be very punctual and close together on their long flights.

I'll put a positive spin on it.

"They have an excellent record of keeping to schedule"

Keep meaning to listen to feeds, but life getting in the way.

Kalitta B742 inbound to SNN - Is this a scheduled stop to drop off some cargo?

This just flew over my house at about 8000ft, nice clear day too.

Does squawk 7707 mean anything?

ICAO Euro / NAT regional squawk assignments are listed in the spreadsheet here:

http://www.paris.icao.int/documents_open/show_file.php?id=401

Set the 'Series' columns using an autofilter to match the first two characters of the squawk and read-off the 'To' and "From' columns until you find one or more matches for the second-two characters.

e.g. 7707

77 is the Series: select Series 77
07 is the range, so filter-down to records from From... To ranges that can contain that. This gives seven matching records.
The Unit is the issuing ICAO region and Destination is the ICAO region identified on the flightplan.

In the case of 7707 there isn't a good single match, but it shows that it's in general use. Since you saw it on a Ryanair flight you can probably bet that it was the record assigned to regions 'EB ED EDYY EG EH EI LE LF LS' for all destinations.

The other way this is handy is to work out the originating region for a biz-jet or charter flight, guessing that the first-two characters of the squawk were the first ATC region to which the aircraft identified.

Donald Trump N757AF just airborne out of Shannon

the san fran aer lingus flight is coming in after a very strange flight path, over greenland!

We're near enough the flights leaving Dublin at the moment (Baldoyle) and yesterday, a couple of the American flights went out around Howth and turned right which I thought was a bit odd.

I am guessing it's all wind and weather related.

The Gulfstream 6 crossing the country NE-SW is N650DX. descending into Shannon now.
