Some recent visitors to Shannon....
On Sunday November 30 the airport had a visitor in the shape of Israel Aircraft Industries IAI-1125 Astra registered N916CG. The aircraft is a 1990 vintage machine with msn 045 and is certainly eye catching with this black, grey and gold colour scheme. Registered to Wilson and Associates of Delaware LLC, N916CG stopped off for fuel en route Gander.
Over the weekend Shannon had a visit of an Isle of Man registered visitor, registered Citation Jet CJ2 M-WMWM. IoM registered aircraft appear to frequent some of the countries other airports more so than Shannon where the 'M' prefix still has the exotic feel to it. M-WMWM is registered to Standard Aviation UK and arrived on Friday evening before departing on Sunday morning.
The last visitor of note, also on Sunday was Boeing 767-231ER, msn 22569 N606TW which is registered to the Boeing Company. The aircraft is currently being operated by the Italian Air Force for crew training as part of their 767 tanker program and made a fuel stop at Shannon before departing for Palm Beach. This is the second time that the aircraft has worn the registration N606TW as it had a stint as OM-NSH with Slovak airlines before being impounded in Birmingham. It then went onto the Brazilian register as PR-BRV with Brasil Rodo Aero until March of this year when it was acquired by Boeing. The aircraft is no stranger to Irish soil having spent many months in front of the then FLS hangars in Dublin at the end of 2000 / first half of 2001 in it's 'original' 606TW registration.
