    Bloody hell. I imagine that's bad enough in daylight, but at least they could approach visually. How would you handle that at night?

    Mobile world congress on there every year. Very big event, probably the biggest in that specific type of business. Companies from absolutely every where that were anybit involved with mobile technology were there.

    It's going to be a regular visitor to SNN on its way from IST to ORD according to SNN Twitter this morning.

    Looks like two services per week westbound via Shannon ( THY6755 and 6729 ), but the eastbounds are via Maastricht ( THY6786 and 6730 ).

    FR24 claims they are Hawk T. Mk. 1 - Red Arrows are the only remaining RAF user of the Mk 1.

    If only there was a passenger service from SNN-IST.

    There's money in tools... Falcon 2000 N12LX operated by Stanley Black & Decker, out of Stuttgart over Cavan.

    Looks like the hand-tool industry has consolidated almost as much as airlines have:

    BA49 turned around on 7700 - looks like it's heading back to LHR


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭bronn


    Dunno - looks like it's going to DUB?

    Dublin wouldn't make much sense, possibly out over water to dump fuel would be my guess!

    Just listening on LiveATC, now he says he wants to divert to BHD, which doesn't really make sense as BFS has a longer runway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭bronn


    Stobart off to Belfast. Too windy in DUB.

    What channel/airport are you listening to?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭bronn


    Could be hedging a few bets. Has quite a few to pick from now. Must be dumping fuel at the moment.

    I wonder did you hear that Stobart requesting BHD, Reoil?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭arubex


    Another Stobart just arrived in Belfast, EI-FAT

    The Daily Express says: "British Airways flight declares mid-air emergency amid cabin oxygen drama..."

    I can't even be bothered to copy and paste the rest of it. Suffice to say, there may be a problem with cabin pressurisation.

    Ryanair Passengers Forced to Pay for Air to be Literally
    Sucked Out of Their Lungs!


    The shocking realization came as Ryanair head honcho Michael O'Leary announced plans to fit coin operated locks to toilet doors. "I'd love to charge passengers to use the bathroom" the Irish airline owner confirmed. "It would encourage them to use the facilities in the airport before the flight, toilet maintenance would be reduced since we wouldn't be depressurizing the tanks as often". When pressed on what he meant by 'depressurizing the tanks' the Irish top gun quipped "well we have to suck the sh*te out of the cabin somehow".

    Asphyxiation

    After much research this reporter can confirm that Ryanair use the actual air from the cabin to flush the on-board toilets. Air, as discovered in recent groundbreaking research, is composed mostly of a substance called Oxygen, a material which boffins say is essential for human life. If humans are deprived of 'Oxygen' they can die in only a matter of days, in a process known as 'Asphyxiation'. Other things known to kill humans in a few days are gunshot wounds and radiation poisoning, putting the level of risk Ryanair is now putting its passengers at at an all time high.

    Infanticide

    When asked for their reactions, these unsuspecting passengers arriving at East Midlands - Birmingham International had this to say. "I can't say I'm surprised that Ryanair are exposing me to this" welfare scrounger Teri Martin said on returning from a low fare trip to the Portuguese Algarve with her six children. "The Irish trying to kill my little darlings, nothing new there". "Bloody Micky Leary, they should run the bog on his own hot air, there's plenty!" exclaimed Allen Wilkens, 41, a plumber from Shefford.

    Ryanair has yet to make a comment at the time of going to press.
