Yikes. BA, London to Chicago. This has been up for a while, I assume to burn fuel before landing again. Squaked over Ireland, and has been doing this since. It's been below 12000 ft too, so the cabin has pressure issues.

Trump air cover. Kraken, Irish Air Corps CASA, north of Limerick, and NORSE42, a USAF Sentry plane, covering from over the south of the UK. There's probably other stuff up there too.

Oh dear. Planes in a holding pattern over the bay. Thank god it isn't dark out, or the Naval Service might have thought they were 'large Russian drones with the lights on', if you take my meaning?

All the way from the US, and now loitering over the Irish sea. Due to land in Dublin in 20 mins.

A very busy day at the airport. British Gov in bound (for EU?). Italian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, etc etc etc, military jets all landing in the last few hours. Mostly biz jet or passenger style, but a few heavy lifters too. A big Hungarian tank carrier sort of buzzed town earlier.

2 Air Corps prop planes and a personell carrier chopper, supposedly 'protecting' EU dignitaries, in Wicklow. I mean, why would we bother? They're utterly useless. I also only realised that half the military assetts off the Irish coast yesterday were UK, and the UK aren't even in the EU. Mad, Ted.

Turning back towards Tonopah. The ATC in this area is known as Dreamland. Guessing the transponder will drop off in a mo.

David Gantly @davegantly.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Another one, this time heading to Tonopah (no right turn after the mountains). They collect staff, but they bring people to work in the evenings too, because they test their stuff over night.

The unnamed airbase, south of the named Tonapah airstrip, is the USAF Tonapah test facility, and that's Area 52. It's all drones etc. Top secret too. (Uncanny Expeditions on YouTube has amazing fotage of all the secret bases in the area, and footage of some truly weird flying stuff).

Loads of Irish air corps action over the Irish sea. Choppers (Call sigh Wolf 1, 2 etc)and one of the CASAs (callsign Kraken). Is there a big EU meeting on tomorrow? Loads of foreign Gov jets coming in too. (sthe UK and French Navy, doing a job we can't, have to stay 12 miles off shore! )

Tough times for Zelensky, re Israel, but I don't blame him, and I wouldn't necessarily believe him anyway. He needs all the help he can get, and Iran is supplying Russia, so maybe, under invasion, your enemies enemy can be your friend. I get it though. Supporting a genocider, to deter another.

14 months were suspended, already, but it's still fucking incredible. There are people who did the same, or less, who won't see a sentence cut like that. Of course, they're not wealthy publicans.

It avoided EU airspace too actually. Over 45k feet for the transit. Why?!

Not long now til the birds go into a panic with an unexpected bedtime, only to have to get back up again 20 mins later. It's probably like jetlag for them.

Someone snapped this Phoenix Air jet landing in Shannon. On board, a US marine who had been in prison in Russia, being returned to the US on 'health grounds' (a gift from Putin to Trump). The plane avoided UK airspace, which is odd. Sanctioned Russians on board?

There's Kinahan! Due in at 18.30, Baldonnell. He'll be officially arrested on the tarmac, taken straight to the Special Criminal Court, and then he's probably off to Portlaiose, or could anywhere else handle him? The security for all of that will be insane! (They'd be better using choppers tbh)

IRL290, The Air Corps Dassault 6x, is nearing Dubai, to collect Daniel Kinahan for extradition, with Gardai on board. I'd say a few of them are 'mildly' excited for this moment. It would be an interesting flight back though, with him handcuffed to a plush leather seat.

Feck! Getting out of the car, in the driveway, I look around to see who's walking past. Poxy Craig Fitz. I knew he knew generally where I lived, but he has the house now.

The responses from Niall Collins and that local councillor he interviewed, were failrly shocking. The Councillor bloke seemed to suggest that Palestinian lives meant more than Ukranian lives, which bothers me. Collins was caught well off guard by this too. We shouldn't be allowing this to happen.
