    Anyone spotted the IAC formation of 4 PC9s overflying southwest Dublin for the last 30 mins. Been buzzing my gaff every 5-6 minutes. Unfortunately my pics are all from below, as they are more or less overhead.

    Lovely day for spotting,clear skies and great contrails. Tried a lovely shot that didn't capture well,2 aircraft heading west behind each other,with another at a lower level heading east,clear contrails but camera didn't get it........just shows how good the human eye is.

    Didn't see them but heard them. Are you going to upload any of those pics?

    Indeed I shall. Aircraft serials were 261,262,263 and 267. It looks as if 267 (lead aircraft)is carrying something under the right wing.

    5 shots in total......discarded about 12 for being crap!

    Good shots, it looks like there are weapons pylons on 267.

    Circled Dublin Bay about a dozen times in tight formation this morning. To do with WW1 commemorations? :confused:
