Flybe paid an unusual visit to Shannon today on a crew training detail. The aircraft concerned DHC-8-402 Dash 8, msn 4220 was registered G-ECOG to the airline on October 17 2008. After several hours in the circuit the aircraft departed for Belfast City.
Visits by Ilyushin 76 aircraft have become rare since the original variants have fallen foul of European noise legislation. Today saw a visit to Shannon by the 224th Flight Unit's RA-76638, a model IL-76TD msn 0053460802 on a transatlantic fuel stop. The aircraft is pictured above on finals to R24 at lunchtime.
