    AN124 inbound, due in 2 hrs.

    Still think it's weird the Dublin one is stickied but this isn't.

    None of the spotting threads are stickied, we were asked to cut back on stickies some months ago because of problems for mobile users. There are 4 stickies right now, and one of them will be dropping off soon. Having said that, the volume of activity in this thread wouldn't justify it being stickied, there's not much over 1 post a week (120 posts since early 2014)

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

    Oh my apologizes, working off old info.

    Is the point of a stickied thread not to ensure threads which offer valuable information doesn't fall down the listings?

    Anyway my own stupidity for forgetting that sorry.

    A small tip, do you really think people know what aircraft G-XLEK is, to save people having to Google why not add more details.

    Did you get this info from a facebook page or is it coming from somewhere else?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭Foggy43


    Somewhere else ;)
    It is scheduled as an engineering flight so more than likely a systems check.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,079 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    To make it even more interesting there is an Air Bridge Cargo 747 inbound Shannon scheduled to land at 15:20.
