    Just spotted that EIN 137 (the Aer Lingus 2pm flight to Boston) has done a sharp turn around mid-atlantic (approx 3 hours out) and is currently on a heading back to Ireland.

    Is Flightradar gone wonky or does anybody know what might be going on here?

    I guess Flightradar just answered my query - it was definitely wonky.
    It now shows that Airbus on a heading for the southern tip of Greenland.

    G-VIIF operating BA177 on LHR JFK declared a Mayday and diverted to SNN on the 9th. Smoke in the flight deck. A 747-400 G-CIVX was sent to SNN to continue the flight.
    G-BNWM operating BA228 BWI LHR on the 10th diverted to SNN due to a security issue with a cargo consignment.

    Yup that's it. It's been an amazing electrical storm, the new ACT has been hit a few times and the sound of the thunder is amazing. That must have been a scary flight.

    Just seen an aircraft pass over where I live in the midlands, quite low , heading east, thought was an Aer Lingus or Ryanair en route to Dublin. Flight radar says its United Airlines Flight UAL 949 London to Chicago - seems it did a u -turn in mid Alantic, now tracking over Irish Sea at 2500 ft ??
    What's up ??

    Edit - looks like its landing in Dublin ??
    Edit - listening to ATC , aircraft landed , appears to have been a medical emergency ??

    Just out of interest, considering it was a medical emergency, would it not have been quicker to land in Shannon with Limerick only 10 mins away?

    Dunno what the story , just heard ATC mention ambulance in conversation with aircraft - anyone heard any other comm with this aircraft ? Presumed was medical emergency , just noticed low flying aircraft when it passed overhead en route to Dublin and followed from there so didnt get earlier comm

    Edit - Flight UAL 949 airborne again , over the midlands en route to Chicago from Dublin

    This has been covered many times before.

    It's not necessarily down to nearest hospital, pilots talk to a specialist company via sat phone and to their company and between them they decide on whether to divert and where to divert to. Limerick may not have the required specialist care required for the patient. The aircraft also needed to burn a load of fuel off to get down to its max landing weight and that probably could be achieved by flying the extra few miles to Dublin rather than going into Shannon. They also dropped down to a very low level to increase the burn rate.

    Yeah, Flightradar was showing it at 7000 ft on approach to Dublin when it passed directly overhead where I live in midlands. Thanks for the clarification urajoke !

    For the first time in a while i spent some time on Flight Radar 24 and its seems they have smaller aircraft being tracked now including learjets and propeller aircraft. Have new radars been introduced to enhance the service? A Nice addition to the service i must say.

    Theres a young lad on the south side of Dublin now with an FR24 MLAT receiver and feeds the DUB area. FR24 supply these boxes after they audit your location, view and hardware. PlanePlotter is still required for even more MLAT plots.
