dvlrnr on February 13, 2026 6:16 am An Irish Air Corps PC-12 did three 360° turns on approach to Tallinn the other day. Perhaps another flight was asked to do that as well. Edit: It was actually one holding pattern and one 360. https://preview.redd.it/x7mrf4c3u7jg1.png?width=1475&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ad023fe105c190ff2f69d2241639806103e6a77
