Had a look and closest I can make out is a British C17.

It was a USAF C-17 at FL120, presumably flying unpressurised, hence the lower level. It had suffered damage recently in Afghanistan when it landed with the nose-gear stuck in the retracted position.

Just passed over my house, some noise off it !!

XsApollo · 08-11-2020 12:31pm

Just heard that take off knew it was big , I’m right parallel with the take off in Shannon.
Look out the window and the front gear was down and rear gear up and it didn’t go up as long as I could see which was about 10 seconds.
Is that normal?
She wasn’t doing much of a climb either lowest take off I have seen.

Edit : 747 coming to land now also.

Edit : she is not coming back by the looks of it so must be ok:-)

On that website you can see everything from f16s to C5 galaxy's. I have never seen are own casas on it . Is the air corps able to prevent there locations being shown ?

In civilian airspace, no.

For some more accurate and less sensational reporting, go to

https://avherald.com/h?article=4df212c7

The Mail, as usual, don't know what they're talking about. The No 2 engine had a massive uncontained failure, and it looks like some of the parts ejected went through the fuselage and out the other side, and disrupted electrical power, among other things, on the way through.

I suspect that the final report into this accident will make "interesting" reading, the crew did well to get it back on to the ground as well as they did.

Alpha Romeo · 15-11-2020 10:35pm

I noticed this flight earlier while messing around on Flightradar. I assume this aircraft is going into storage?

Also, has there ever been a shorter flight completed by a jet aircraft to a different airport from where it departed?

EchoIndia · 15-11-2020 10:47pm

The final flight of Buccaneer XV361, from Aldergrove to nearby Langford Lodge is reported to have taken 92 seconds: https://youtu.be/37oVOEwE_QU

Alpha Romeo · 15-11-2020 10:57pm

That's very interesting, thank you for the link. At the right spot on a clear day you could probably catch the take off and landing in one shot!

I see the rescue heli operating off wexford coast, hope everyone will be safe. Bad windy old night in Dublin anyway.

I heard Emirates use the suffix “SUPER” yesterday for the first time in months, how many of these beasts are still in operation?

I've seen about 4 or 5 on FR24. LHR and CDG have been running for a while along with Cairo (if I recall correctly) and Moscow. BKK was added recently.

They were training by doing winching exercises with a cargo vessel and a ferry.

It's an aircraft from a UK company, it's doing some sort of aerial surveying.

Judging by the aircraft type...photographic survey flight. (see above) Topic should be moved to another tread, as its a bit miraculous (and a tad small) for an engine-less A380.

Photographic survey at 3am?

Your right:o, I have to admit not the best time to do it to be doing Photographic survey work

..LiDAR mapping is more likely re scanning areas missed/poor elevation data coverage during a track run earlier in the year.

This is more suited for the Flightradar24 (and other trackers) (Note to MODS please move relevant posts there)

Best time to do it for them as they can use busier airspace at nighttime. Several articles about it online in the past few weeks, people wondering why there were low flying aircraft at these late hours.

"The identity of the organisation that hired the RVL Group is still unknown. In a statement issued to the paper earlier this week, RVL said that some of the survey work it undertakes is for environment and government agencies and entities and can only be carried out at night for operational and technical reasons, including the “availability of access to busy airspace” https://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/2020/11/19/english-plane-returns-for-second-survey-of-the-region/

My guess is it's using LIDAR to map flooding for OPW, it seemed to be concentrating on the Suck river catchment areas last night.

I'm looking forward to him returning and keeping me awake another night tonight:)

cml387 · 01-12-2020 11:20am

I am hearing an unusual droning noise at the moment, turns out it's an Antonov AN-12 belonging to some Ukrainian opertion. Solid cloud of course so can't see anything.

It's used by the same local Cork billionaire who previously used the A319CL G-NOAH, G-KELT an A320neo is its replacement.

Lots of helicopter activity over south Dublin this afternoon so I had a look at flightradar24 and noticed that flight DB241 from Bournemouth to New York was diverted to Shannon, landing at about 15.20. It left again at 16.50. Anyone know why it diverted? Nothing to be found by googling.

the helis were the air corps, think it was a cash transfer to the mint.
