    Based on the info you have provided, I drew a map of the expected route.

    Yeah but the sea dragon is not transponder equipped so it won't be allowed in the zone.

    Don't let the name fool you. It's not really an island.

    Can someone remind me where the aircraft will commence their left turn after the fly past? Is it the bridge at the Customs House?

    If that's the case I'm thinking that the greens in Trinity College might be a nice spot. You'll get them side/front on coming down the river and then turning left and climbing around the greens.

    Thinking "College Park" on the below map

    https://maps.google.ie/?ll=53.345735,-6.250019&spn=0.006956,0.021136&t=h&z=16

    Yes pretty much a good spot the climb is to start at the new bridge over the Liffey and then a left turn out so it should do pretty much what you think it will do.

    File may be too large
    In the absence of the map working

    Aircraft departing Dub
    Rwy 28 left turn to follow M50 motorway 4,000 feet
    Past Marley Park
    Then direct KLY to enter the hold over the sea
    When it is your turn cross the bay pasing out side Dun Laoighre
    Turning in outside Chimmenys
    Then along the river for display
    Exit display by Tara Street
    Tight visual circuit Donnybrook to Dun Laoighre
    For Second run
    Exit display heading west for recovery

    Weston and Bal traffic will join the M50 closest

    UK Traffic straight in or to the hold

    While the sea dragon gods were not looking XH558 confirmed the A crew for Dublin and they want to make an impression on first visit and probably last visit.

    No new aircraft
    B767 still 70%
    A350 on trials at the moment MSN01 still the only aircraft 0.01%
    USAF aircraft no decision until early september prob 5%

    Plan
    A380 last display aircraft
    XH558 second last
    but things can change

    Never never foreget the dragon gods
    RWY10 howth would be good for Dub departures but only 50 % of traffic visible

    DHL so far no interest
    US carriers no interest as no local aircraft
    would love a MD11 - but no chance

    Tenger my friend
    The Vulcan is NOT operating into DUB except in an emergency
    Doncaster to Southport to Dublin and home without landing

    also a UK operator with a service to Dub now wants to be part of it with an interesting aircraft

    Air Boss,

    Just in case I forget in the soon to be frenzied lead up to this show, I and im sure we, want to say "Many Thanks" now, for the detailed, if at times, puzzling input you have had on this thread.

    I assume you are in a position that you can't divulge every little detail of the day
    and I / we respect that.

    Your info has been invaluable to a lot of us, like me listening and trying my best to broadcast it, or the people heading into town for the day just to have a look, or to the seasoned spotters who now have a big list of objectives to get filled on the day.

    So a round of applause please for the Air Boss.

    An Islander or Twin Otter would be nice but they would probably prefer to send an Embraer jet.

    Any chance of an old propliner such as a Constellation ? The type of display at Dublin would be ideal for something like that I would think. But finding one, quite a challenge. I think there are one or two that display in Europe.

    There are 3 or 4 left flying, including Breiting's C-121 based in Switzerland. I think it's the only one in Europe.

    I think that decision has being made for you according to the iaa guy on rte 1 today it more then likely will not land and just fly direct from the uk and back home as if it lands that will eat in to its lifespan he said.
