    Nice to hear the sound of a Dauphin in my neck of the woods, especially since the retirement of the IAC ones. They often flew over my house to and from Baldonnel.

    EI-PRO was the above mentioned helicopter, which flew over a few minutes ago.

    Would someone mind checking which plane was landing / taking off at Shannon at around 6 this morning? Heard it fly over the house and thought it sounded a bit different to the usual flights.

    Thanks, I'd say it was almost certainly the A310.

    Noisy aircarft passing overhead south Dublin in the low cloud caused me to check FR24 - identified as a Boeing 737-7HJ(BBJ) departing eastbound from Baldonnel. No reg or other information available. Unusual visitor or a misidentified regular troop transport flight?

    N737AT has an interesting history (thank you Google) but it’s odd that it went into a military airfield, IMO

    What was the prop that just flew over Dublin? I thought it was an AN-12, as it was loud enough.

    Nothing on FR24.

    Have to say my usage of FR24 is becoming less and less. I find, I’m using https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/ more and more because of it greater coverage than FR24 and the blooming ads are way less intrusive.

    I got rid of FR24 and now use only ADSBExchange.

    Maybe not one spotted often, but a DC-8 flew over the north of Ireland a while ago, and has just descended towards Prestwick.

    I thought it might have been Samaritan's Purse. Thanks for confirming.

    I saw a screenshot on twitter a few weeks back showing more DC8's flying than A380's. Due to the crash in oil prices and the increased need for freighters, there were a few DC8's taken out of the desert and put back in the air.

    I remember some years back flying into Charleroi with Ryanair, the weather was bad, real bad, so windy.

    We were circling for what seemed like ages then the pilot said we'd be making 1 attempt at landing then diverting to eindhoven, my gf, now wife, who was a really bad flyer asked why we'd been circling all this time, told her was burning off all excess fuel as it would make it easier for emergency services when we crash, we were there for 3 nights and she didn't speak to me for 2 :pac::pac:

    A very long time ago, (Bac 1-11 days) my (elderly) parents, who were already nervous flyers, came over from the UK on a Ryanair flight from Luton, and going back, they tried 2 approaches to Luton, but could not get down due to fog, and eventually, they flew down and held near Gatwick, which they could see, but for some reason, they didn't land. After quite some time in the hold, a very foreign voice came on to the intercom, and said "the weather has improved at Luton, and we think we have enough fuel to get back there and land". They went back to Luton, and clattered it on to the runway in what sounded like marginal conditions. It took us 10 years to get them back on to an aircraft again.

    A Romanian pilot, who's limited English usage didn't recognise that his "think" was interpreted very differently back in the cabin from the way he meant it.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Indeed, finest converters of fuel to noise that ever graced Dublin, but I suspect the modern generations have never heard of them, it was 30 or so years ago.
