It is a quiet time of year, but there must be something happening somewhere!  I'ts always quieter over here on the west coast so that doesn't help much, but surely there is some activity at the Bal or over that end of the country.

Well guy,

it's not only Ireland!!
EHGR ( Gilze-Rijen AFB ) is "dead " too at the moment !
At least you still have Shannon where some nice USAF / USN and USMC planes come in on regular bases.

Slán,

Guinness ':cool:'




Guinness is good for you

Even the US mil transits at Shannon have tailed off ! The Air Show & Fly-In season is over. It could be quiet for a while !   '<img'>

Hi Fouga,

There have been a few German C-160 Transalls through SNN over the last month or so. Most US flights are operated by civilian DC-10/MD-11/B757 aircraft. The odd C-9, C-20, UC-35, C-37 or C-40 may turn up. Canada had a CC-144 through on the 23rd October.

Hi.Fouga!
I did!!,almost on the airfield boundary at Westair, for 6 yrs when I was based at snn! If you like 24 hr noise its great!!! I only really noticed when I moved to the middle of Co.Waterford....I thought I had gone deaf '[:sus:'
Aaahhh....the silence! ':O'
