French Navy Atlantique Urgent Landing at Cork
« on: May 26, 2023, 10:37:18 PM »
The initial report I read of this via tweet claimed that the crew had denied access to the aircraft to the emergency services. The news article tones it down somewhat.

A FRENCH MILITARY surveillance aircraft has made an emergency landing at Cork Airport after reports of an apparent fire onboard.

The aircraft declared an emergency at 7.30am this morning, using the Pan-Pan code – they then diverted to the nearest airport.

They landed shortly after 8am and were met by emergency service vehicles.

Not sure whether it left or not as there's a French Navy Xingu inbound Cork right now!
