Saw that too, was that it, no planes at all? Looked a bit miserable for a flyover.

I thought it made sense given that helicopters do much more of the emergency services type jobs

What I felt was comical was that a few of the loonies protesting though it was the "military getting involved" in monitoring their assembly.

(I really need to stop lurking in those social media conspiracy groups, but it just so funny)

I had a friend who knows I’m an avgeek txt me at the start of restrictions when ILS calibration was being done at the airport by that waspy sounding Diamond, asking if it was the army monitoring people because the street was out watching it convinced that’s what it was haha!

3 air corps PC12's crossing Canada on way back to Europe.

source · 08-09-2020 5:17pm

The 3 new Air Corps Pilatus PC12s are en route from the US. They're doing short legs, yesterday the flew from Denver to Burlington in Vermont. Today's leg took them to Goose Bay in Newfoundland, Canada.

You can search for them using:

N280NG
N281NG
N282NG

Tomorrow's leg is from Goose Bay to Reykjavik.

Will they be keeping their tail numbers after arrival? i.e. 280, 281, 282?

Growler!!! · 08-09-2020 5:38pm

Is 280 not taken already?

ozzy jr · 08-09-2020 5:53pm

FR24 has them down as 2 years old. Is the Air Corps not the first owner?

kub · 08-09-2020 5:57pm

Are the Air Corp doing the delivery of these planes ?

L1011 · 08-09-2020 6:13pm

Weren't they built in 2018 as civils and then sent to the US for the military conversion/fitout; hence the 2018 civil registrations

They were going to take 280, 281, 282 but the fourth one bought in a hurry has already taken 280 so it'll be 281-3. Presumably just renumber "280" of the new ones to 283

In the (highly recommended, by me!) book Fate is the Hunter they used Narsarsuaq in Greenland as a stop over during the war. It’s ICAO code is BGBW. BG for Greenland, BW for “Bluie West One”, its code name way back when.

Fascinating trip, I’d say.

A fresh coat of paint will do that:)

Man Vs ManUre · 08-09-2020 6:53pm

A few years ago we never imagined you could open your phone and it tell you what plane in the sky above you is, it’s model and where it is traveling to. This app is really good but when will it tell me who is on board and what they look like??

I was referring more to the factory green colour before the lovely new paint job.

L1011 · 08-09-2020 10:45pm

They would have been delivered to the US in the green.

The aircraft are built in Switzerland not the US.

Trebor176 · 09-09-2020 12:29pm

The three PC12s are on their way to Iceland now.

Appear to be heading back to Baldonnel now

nomdeboardie · 10-09-2020 12:28pm

Ah, so that's what flew over S Dublin a few minutes ago

Captain_Crash · 10-09-2020 1:59pm

Caught a glimpse of them myself

Tenger · 10-09-2020 3:55pm

Was in Tallahht village earlier. They looked class going overhead in formation at about 1000 ft. (-ish)
Got a similar pic. 3 dark aircraft against flat grey clouds.

kmart6 · 10-09-2020 4:32pm

Well that's a few weeks of disruption ahead for any of us living near Baldonnel!:(

Some serious noise from them earlier when they flew over.

GBX · 10-09-2020 4:45pm

Looking forward seeing them in action in around Baldonnell

Mav11 · 10-09-2020 5:18pm

Have we got four of these now? The original one plus these three?

Yes but the other one isn't kitted out for ISTAR.

This is the original order. The other one was a pre-built aircraft that was quickly ordered and received while these were being fitted out in the US.

I think thats the point, dull aircraft in a dull sky, also fond of their callsign SHADOW, hopefully its used.

The RAF Typhoons, usually “play” out over the North Sea on the east coast of the UK.
