I thought it might be an idea to give this its own thread because I'm always hearing the IISRH zooming around.

It's been flying over this morning since 1am, thunder and all. Loads of sirens on the ground too. Hope all is OK but it's flying around the city hours now

Weird thing is that it never comes up on flight radar when I check.

SAR choppers show up on Marine AIS.
I'd imagine as their role is coast guard so ships need to know.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm wondering if anyone can identify the black and white helicopter that's over the western suburbs most afternoons heading north west. What's it up to? Seems to be on a particular mission daily.

All bar one of the CHC helicopters show up on FlightRadar now at low altitudes. The Air Corps ones show up on www.adsbexchange.com - they’re blocked on FR. The Irish Community Rapid Response one based in North Cork doesn’t show on any as it doesn’t have an ADS-B enabled transponder.

Flew over town heading West yesterday at 6pm and it just went past there as well.

Just heard it there also, I always wonder who's in trouble when I hear it and hope they'll be ok.

Three flyovers today. First one was about 10am heading out towards the Lee Fields, once in the afternoon and it's just gone by there again.

It flew past county hall there, out west again just now

blindsider · 15-10-2020 9:43am

Circling Bishopstown GAA, I'd say. Looks like a landing. Hope any patients onboard are ok!

Incredibly tragic situation.

ACitizenErased · 26-10-2020 4:06pm

I've heard there's people dead.

Absolutely horrific, cannot imagine what was going through his mind.

Such a sad and wasteful loss of life!

Just flew from the southwest into town. A friend texted to say it's hovering over the river at UCC by the skate park.

Look at flightradar, just took off from Cork Airport and heading north of the city.

Most likely transporting the ill fisherman from Castletownbere:
