AW277 currently doing a few orbits around Headford, Co.Galway

Was just checking that out...seems to have landed and took off again heading east now.



Zoomed in on satellite and seen this...Also...Pretty cool! (Over headford)



Remember seeing another one over wicklow before

For those interested in weather, an uncommon weather occurrence in Ireland at the moment where we have a large variance in wind, with the centre of a low pressure system located over Ireland resulting in different winds across the country. Current surface wind at EICK is 230 degrees and in EIDW 070 degrees and in EINN 310 degrees, that's a south-westerly in cork and easterly in dublin and north-westerly in Shannon, a combination not seen all that often. Nothing amazing, just thought I'd mention it because it's not seen everyday. :-)

Have a look at Met.ie website, click the wind tab and scan through the next few hours noting the change in direction of the wind, then click the pressure tab and do the same, you will see how the movement of the low pressure across the country has such a bearing on the wind direction over the next 6 hours, a plain and clear example of how the wind direction is anti clockwise around the centre of a low pressure.

EI3721 (STK21M) diverting to Shannon due to winds being out of limits at Cork. Didn't go near Shannon, as wind at Cork have been out of limits for over an hour now.

Jaysus Dublin looks fairly messy atm.
Hopefully BA pilots won't have a pissy fit due to the Non-ILS approach on RWY34.

Surely they have maintenance lads on standby to sort out a pothole on a runway.

RWY 10 / 28 is in service almost three decades now. It's must be close to needing a complete resurface at this stage, no??

Emirates took off from RWY16 a few days ago.

R28 closed up to 21Z at least:

Saw some news reports, but what exactly was wrong with it?

Part of the runway came up.

Neglect or damage from aircraft?

**** happens. Same way as a well used road needs a bit of repair or filling once in a while.
