Landings of Canadian military aircraft at Shannon are subject to the conditions that apply to all foreign military aircraft that land in Irish airports, i.e. that the aircraft are unarmed, carry no arms, ammunition or explosives, do not engage in intelligence gathering, and that the flights in question do not form any part of military exercises or operations. I am not in a position to provide information on the passengers and cargo of individual aircraft which have landed at Shannon Airport.
