    A wee FR24 linky trick

    If you take the basic sharing-URL like

    http://fr24.com/BCS2883/5cb2ead

    and insert the date, time and playback speed ahead of the callsign

    http://fr24.com/2015-03-19/21:00/12x/BCS2883/5cb2ead

    Then it opens the flight in playback mode from that time and people can review it for 28 days, instead of the basic link vanishing when the aircraft lands.

    It's the same way the links are built within playback mode but quicker to make.

    RWY 34 is in use at DUB. Intresting choice is such a light wind.

    The Condor 767 is off to Cancun from Shannon! Passed right over me again, far too foggy to see the lights of it though (I cant see anything beyond the neighbours). Loud roar from it!

    Also, wouldn't it be great to have an exotic route from Ireland, somewhere like Cancun in Mexico or Barbados.

    As far as I can recall, the rest of the flights that day were using the same runway, but in the opposite direction. Because this was an emergency, they landed as quickly as they could, so they landed with a tailwind.

    Did they, I recall a light easterly wind at that time yeaterday, which is infact a headwind.

    When the winds are so light a plane can land in the easier direcrion on Shannons runway.

    It has the nose dipped and didn't look like a normal landing.
    Can you expand on this? Why didn't it look normal?
    When the winds are so light a plane can land in the easier direcrion on Shannons runway.
    What is the easier direction ?

    The nose was dipped and it was moving quite fast.

    Whichever is the nearest and easiest to approach.

    Well the next flight that landed after the Condor landed on runway 24, coming in from the north east. As did others.

    Using our new very helpful tip, here's a good view of that Easyjet and other eclipse watchers.
    http://www.flightradar24.com/2015-03-20/09:16/12x/EZY6747/5cc16e9

    Saw only the very briefest few seconds of it here in Dublin but it was enough. Brill.
