Fighter Jets over Waterford

Goldenballs101

I just seen some kind of fighter jet passing over the city at 1 maybe 2 thousand feet and last Saturday while down the sand hills I seen another one.
Did anyone see either of these. The one on Saturday was very visible to anyone on Tramore beach and the sound was very loud.

I found this site http://www.radarvirtuel.com/ which allows you to identify the aircraft which if flying but there is nothing flying over Waterford.
Who are they?

www.flightradar24.com Try that site , I find it more reliable and closer to real time than radar virtuel.

Although military aircraft i doubt will show up on em.

As for fighter jets over Tramore? I dunno maybe their bringin the pillows for O'Bama.
Or if it was over tramore beach maybe it was a private jet (Gulfstream or the likes) Circling to land at The airport.

Can you remember did it have a delta wing or was it fixed wing?

Do a google search for F16, F-15, F-22 (or USAF jets) or look up UK Fighter jets and see do any of them match what you saw

The EU/IMF really want their money back :eek:

Back in the old days NATO would fly along the south coast over Tramore and I'd see them every so often.

Could be a french Alpha jet from Tours. They do regular navigation exercises in Irish airspace and overnight at Baldonnel. There's some photos over on the Aviation and Aircraft forum of previous visits.

There were 3 business jets parked at the airport Saturday afternoon.

When you say "this" I assume you meant to post a pic or something.
