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.

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.

"Russia is attacking customs offices and border crossings in an attempt to block the flow of European aid due to food supply risks." - said Serhiy "Flash," a Ukrainian expert in military radio technology.

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.

JANET Air, Area 51 express. They were meant to turn off their transponder when they entered the protected area.

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.

Alison Chawke is free again, having served 1 month of a 26 month sentence. Well for some.

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.

Funny how no one asked russia to halt strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

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?

Daniel Kinahan has landed at Casement Aerodrome after being extradited from Dubai.

The Government jet carrying the 49-year-old arrived in Dublin as part of a major security operation.

Authorities are expected to transport Kinahan to the Special Criminal Court.

The Government Jet has touched down at Casement Aerodrome carrying Daniel Kinahan back to Irish soil. He’s expected to be arrested by Gardaí immediately on arrival and to be immediately brought before a special sitting of the Special Criminal Court to face charges.

He's back. Garda helicopter overhead.
August 9, 2026 at 5:34 PM
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.
