2 aeroplanes today?

dlofnep

Hey, did anyone see 2 aeroplanes (assume they were military) today? They were flying at relatively low altitude, really fast. Anyone have any idea what was going on?

I did hear what sounded like 2 fast and low flying planes this morning . the time I cant be sure but it was around 10am in the Ferrybank area.

AFAIK they were also sighted around on wed according to a mate

Absurdum

yeah, was standing outside having a smoke and seen them.... thought it was strange to be seeing two planes flying so low in formation....

this is a regular thing, the pc-9 that crashed in galway killing the two crewmen would have been on the same kinda training flights doing point to point
