Thank you for this...very emotional coming into Shannon - 'Oh Ireland isn't it grand you look, like a bride in her rich adornin...with all the pent up love of my heart, I wish you the Top of the Mornin'' ! The emigrant never forgets! We haven't been Home for a few years now...
Wow!! Beautiful….amazing!! Really liked the Shannon approach. Accompanying music was amazing, too… I have watched several cockpit landings, this one, in my opinion is the best.
That approach into Knock made me tear up. I've been away in Australia a few years now and haven't been home due to the pandemic. I CAN NOT wait to be on final approach into Knock myself next year sometime.
I'd just like to say that I've transitioned Shannon several times coming back from deployments in some really nasty places in Southwest Asia.....and that stop is the first place you could get a beer after months. There was the same gentleman tending the bar at 1:00 A.M. every-time I made that flight and he had the bar loaded with Guinness every-time we came off the plane...all 200 of us....I n ever got his name, but he should get some sort of Irish medal. I will also say that my wife and I toured Ireland a couple years ago and loved it. Particularly Dublin.
I definitely found what I was looking for when I flew into Knock - my DNA matches show that some of my Mayo ancestors definitely lived in villages around where the airport is today. :-)
Spectacular footage - thanks for uploading (used to watch planes come in at EICK back in the day. The house just before the 17 threshold with the approach lights in the back garden used to fascinate me. Intriguing to see it from the air!)
When I look at the tarmac at Shannon I think of the great names that walked that piece of ground , jfk the pope john Paul, Boris yelstsen who failed to get off the plane because he was langersed drunk lol ha , my uncle Tom Benn ,big tom was head of security at Shannon, he's in the video of reeling in the years when borris never got off the plane , circled over Shannon for an hour while his people wondered what to do ,the red carpet was out and they were all waiting, Albert Reynolds bertie ahead hahah classic stuff..thanks again for the upload x
Anytime I ever return to Ireland on a flight it’s sunny and clear, then in the final 15 mins of approach the cloud gets thick, it’s grey, usually raining and freezing cold, even in summer.
@@compactparabolic2002 I remember one time landing in Cork and there was no tunnel from the aircraft, so I went through the exit door and BAM! Cold wind and rain hit me like a freight train! It’s good to see the green green grass of home!
It is such a pity only airports in the Republic of Ireland were covered. Knock and Farrenfore are so insignificant when compared to Belfast Harbour and Belfast International Aldergrove.
If you really want some excitement try landing at kerry Airport with its crosswind brilliant fun and kangaroo jumps with the Aircraft!! All love and prayers tony
Aer Lingus (Shamrock) I would imagine... no hope of finding Ryanair in one of those "regional" airports in Ireland. Didn't even know there was one in Kerry, you wouldn't want to overshoot that runway!!
@@pjmccracken I'm fairly sure it's a Boeing 737 aircraft. Listen to the GPWS callouts. Airbus has different GPWS callouts, plus Aer Lingus doesn't fly Boeing aircraft so it is probably Ryanair.

Cork throught the clouds with the music was magical

Thank you very much!

I grew up in cork, and just loved landing into cork airport, its very magical when landing into the irish airports.

Молодец. Красиво.
Fabulous
Cork airport i often landed hear and watch planes land hear to

Classic Ireland)))

@@KRAZEEIZATION The whole island should be drifted slightly to the south, to the warmer waters. Then it would be paradise)))
@@compactparabolic2002 And get rid of the clowns in the government! Then it would be heaven!
@@KRAZEEIZATION your soooooo right get rid of Martin
Do aircraft manufacturers design jets to play music when approaching Irish airports? or is the music in the air?
It is such a pity only airports in the Republic of Ireland were covered. Knock and Farrenfore are so insignificant when compared to Belfast Harbour and Belfast International Aldergrove.
4:35 which music is that can anyone tell me 🙏🏼 please
I've never taken off from, or landed at Knock or Shannon. Kerry is my nearest airport
For those looking for Cork Airport / EICK, jump forward to 11:00 for the closing minute or so of the approach to rwy 16
If you really want some excitement try landing at kerry Airport with its crosswind brilliant fun and kangaroo jumps with the Aircraft!!
All love and prayers tony
I'm gonna boast. I've flown all these approached in the last 5 years!!
I haven’t flown into Knock or Dublin yet, hopefully will some day
Which song plays while flying into Shannon?
Now we are free, gladiator.
Where are all the bottles ??? I thought the runway was going to be covered in beer bottles ???
I prefer family guy's version with all the beer bottles on the ground
Name of song while flying into cork?
Gladiator movie theme.
If I had a punt for every time I landed in Shannon and Dublin over the past 50 years I'd be a wealthy man.
What's with the music??Trad orchestral, Gladiator and U2. The pictures themselves can be the music. Like going up in an airport elevator!
I love the cockpit sounds myself - could just hear the altitudes as they neared the ground.
Great video, very enjoyable...ryanair?
Aer Lingus (Shamrock) I would imagine... no hope of finding Ryanair in one of those "regional" airports in Ireland. Didn't even know there was one in Kerry, you wouldn't want to overshoot that runway!!
@@pjmccracken Actually i think it is RyanAir. They go to all the airports listed.

Yep, Ryanair. Prior to the pandemic, they served more regional Irish airports than Aer Lingus.
Why wasnt Waterford Airport included?
Haven’t been there. Runway is too short there.
@@compactparabolic2002 Ok cheers.
You couldn't land a bycycle there
@@johnoriordan7419 😂😂Thanks John I've never been there as such but I passed it once. At least were lucky its adequate enough to host Rescue 117.

The pilots landed the planes whilst Irish dancing.
It was a bit distracting
Clare is so beautiful
Thank you! It really is! The whole island is beautiful!
Could do without the Riverdance music
Nice, but had to silence the music - was way over the top.
Why the terrible music
Really irritating music soundtrack.
Different folks, different strokes.
