And that's not all.

There's a lot going on, I don't put it all up here as I don't get that much time on the net, so here's some extracts.

Tuesday Oct 22

11:55 USAF Hercules lands at Shannon heading 060.
Taxis over by cargo terminal, parks behind DHL and Channel Express.

Reg of plane is MN 1007 appears to be from AF 96 Squadron. appears to have extra fuel tanks between no 1 & 2 engine and no 3& 4 engine.

Didn't get great visual on squadron patch, but would recognise it again.

FBO van makes several trips to collect large number of uniformed troops.

plane refuels and takes off heading 060 at 13:35

other recent interesting visitors (not counting the boring white WORLD planes)

US NAVY C-9 from 'Conquistadore' Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR 57) based at the NAS (Naval Air Station) North Island San, Diego, California.

and a few planes that decided it was a good idea to land without lights.

Come see for yourself, day and night at Shannon WARport, Shannon, Co. Clare.
