Ukraine President visits Shannon

The President of Ukraine, Victor Yuschenko and his wife Kateryna visited Shannon today on their way to the 63rd session of the UN General Assembly in New York. Over the past few days several VIP aircraft have been noted transiting Irish air space in a westerly direction- notably the Ugandan Government Gulfstream 4 5X-UEF, MEA Airbus A330 F-OMEB on flight MEA 001 and V8-MHB the Brunei Government's B767, all presumably attending the UN session. The only aircraft to have stopped in Shannon was Ukraina Air Enterprise's IL62M UR-86528 MSN 4038111. The picture shows the aircraft departing Shannon's Runway 06 this lunchtime.
