    Please be considerate of your fellow boardsies and ask the pilot to crash the plane so we can open a missing plane megathread.

    It could be worse. You were 'unknown' on Flightradar a short while ago.

    Chill, the chances of an incident mid-flight is really really low.

    The landing is where you usually crash.

    Good luck btw

    I miss the old days on BA flights, when the captain was usually a 50-year-old ex-RAF Vulcan bomber pilot named Chris Jenkins, sleeping through the sort of thing that had normal folk crying and praying. "Bit choppy this morning, chaps. Look sharp!!"

    Some of the best I've seen also were German Lufthansa pilots - the way they hoored the machine into the air would remind you of a young hooligan wheelie-ing a FireBlade. :pac:

    Just checked the aviation METARs and there is severe/catastrophic turbulence predicted for east flying traffic over the Mayo/Galway region in the next 20 mins. That's almost 97% of the permitted structural loading on the airframe.

    Surely the OP is home by now... !!!!!!!???????

    (only joking - your flight EIN146 is just off coast by Clifden... the worst should be over by now.) you'll be fine.

    Moments like this call for a flashmob...

    Boardsies assemble!

    Grab your kids / family etc... and scribble 'welcome home Faceman' messages on coloured paper and make your way to Dublin Airport.
    The crowds that gather will surely interest TV3 / The Herald, and Faceman will be given a heroes welcome...

    I wish I were close enough, that would be really cool!

    I've been following this flight (well ok only for the last half hour but still) on the flight radar page linked to earlier. You're nearly there Faceman!! We're all cheering your plane in, and will be stamping our feet and clapping when you land!

    This is why more people should take an interest in aviation. Then they'd scoff at the thought of the wings coming off during turbulence.

    Ok, they might look as though they're coming off, but they're not.

    Usually.

    Seriously though, aviation is one of the best knowledge hobbies ever.
