ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Ireland last week (not Dublin)

Post by EHRD88 »

Did visit Ireland last week, specially for the Euroleague final in Dublin. We also did spend some extra days in Ireland to visit some of the less frequently visited fields in the country.

First Connemara airfield. A small airstrip about 25km west of Galway. Only one operator, Aer Arann Islands, who flies with three Islanders to the three Aran Islands. (all flights are less then 10 minutes!)
Lucky for us, all three Islanders where seen during our 30minutes visit. Two flying and one on maintenance in the smal hangar.

EI-BCE

Then on to Shannon. Nice airport, lot of maintenance hangars and companies. You have to be lucky to cath some nice planes on a fuelstop, on a delivery flight or after a paintjob. Also some planes on storage.
Also some passenger flights. Mainly Aer Lingus (A320/A330), Ryanair, Aer Arann and a few American companies. (Delta and Continited)

N331BV (ex Air Jamaica)

EC-HDN (ex Iberia)

N495MS (ex Air Midwest Nigeria) a long shot, so not too sharp
Image

Then the flying ones:
Every day a lot of fuelstop flights from bizjets

Image

the daily British Airways flight from London City to New York (stopping at SNN for fuel and US customs). The return flight is without the stop at SNN.
Image

Also the Irish Coast guard is operating from SNN

And the to the two nicest visitors of the day:
HZ-102 737-800BBJ from Royal Saudi Airforce.
Image

And on delivery after paint and maintenance at Shannon, this TJ-QCB from Camair from Cameroun. This 737 is wellknown here in the Netherlands because in 2010 this plane was the PH-OEJ from Transavia.
Image

Then on to Cork. Where there was al lot of action going on because the visit from Queen Elizabeth.
This BAe146-200 was here ride. (taken behind glass)

and offcourse the Aer Lingus retro jet
