There has been a lot of talk about the NOAA Lockheed WP-3D Orion aircraft in Shannon this week.
The aircraft, N42RF aka “Kermit” is in Shannon for the next while as they monitor Storm Éowyn which hits Ireland on Friday morning!
Q: What do scientists onboard do?🤔
Scientists aboard the aircraft deploy GPS dropwindsondes as NOAA pilot and navigate the P-3 through the hurricane/storm. These instruments continuously transmit measurements of pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction and speed as they fall toward the sea, providing a detailed look at the structure of the storm and its intensity. The P-3s' tail Doppler radar and lower fuselage radar systems, meanwhile, scan the storm vertically and horizontally, giving scientists and forecasters a real-time look at the storm. The P-3s can also deploy probes called bathythermographs that measure the temperature of the sea.
This aircraft will likely fly into storm Éowyn to study it, I will share tracking details if/when it becomes available!

Afscheid PH-OYJ ‘Sunshine’, de laatste Boeing 767, verlaat de vloot. De piloot die haar laatste vlucht voor TUI uitvoert geeft een spectaculaire goodbye wave 🤩👋🏻👋🏻✈️
Ps: er zijn geen passagiers aan boord :)

If you feel a lump or have a sore that won’t heal get checked out. Those are words that you’ll hear a lot but many do nothing and then end up in trouble.
Check yourself, you know your body so if you see or feel something go to the GP or (as in my case) dentist.
I got treated very quickly because there was a large tumour in my mouth with no symptoms. It was found by my dentist and seven months later I’m still here and recovering well.
ICU after surgery and another picture taken three days ago. You’d be amazed how treatable most cancers are if caught early enough. We have world-class staff working for patients every day of the year.
I’d a bit more to do before I’m fully back up and running but I’m still moving forward.

Really glad that all of the Japan Airlines pax and crew seem to have survived the crash.
But I'm not surprised to hear that it was an orderly evacuation. JAL is able to board widebody aircraft in 10-15 mins as pax are so considerate.
Also JAL plays this every safety briefing:

@AerLingus very disappointed my gluten free meal request was not fulfilled for EI127 today despite ordering it on 11/08/23 with the Aer Lingus contact centre as it didn’t let me do it in manage my booking

Stayed in my mum's last night. Someone has parked across her driveway. Have to order a taxi for 50 mile trip to work and 50 back to collect my own car later. Hard to believe what people will do. By the way the car does not belong to neighbours.
Noted departing @DublinAirport this evening for Washington, USA was this new Gulfstream 650
While some airlines write the company name underneath their aircraft,this owner has had the word #Culchie put on his private jet
Not Irish ?, this should help..

@British_Airways Yes thank you, unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a proper look at their name badges so don’t know their names but I’ll certainly pass it on.
.@British_Airways excellent cabin crew in WTP on BA32 HKG-LHR this morning. Warm, friendly, always smiling and attentive, the best BA cabin crew I’ve ever experienced. They are a real credit to BA especially the gentleman and lady who served us on the port side.
