    By my reckoning, there must be at least 5 US Mill planes up around the ramp at present, unless some have already departed since arriving this morning

    A huge USAF plane, possibly a C5 Galaxy landed in DUB at about 1920. Fantastic sight

    AFAIK Galaxy arrived this morning from UK and was on ground for about 20 minutes to pick up "the beast" and then transport back to that states.

    LOL , no not ever . One of the chopper pilots has just posted thie following on another thread. ....

    Gentlemen and Ladies,

    From the pilots of the Chinooks that you have so gracefully captured in photo and film...Thank you! This is the last mission for these 4 Chinooks. Most were placed in service in Vietnam and have flown in Gulf I, The original invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, and have returned to each locale twice since. They just returned from their last combat deployment and took this farewell mission. Unless anyone objects, your photos will be kept in our company's history files. When they return to Germany, they will be shipped back to the US and be torn apart to make new aircraft. I hope you enjoyed the show!

    Whats with the numbering system used? Is there a secret sequence or just something special about the numbers 0, 2 & 8?
