    Hi all,iwasnt sure where to put this but thought here was good a place as any.
    I notice the past few months a few times a week there are air corp planes training and flying very close to eachother directly above the town of Monasterevin.
    While its a long shot for an accident to happen i cant help but see potential danger in this while they are flying so close to eachother.
    They are not just flying about they are doing what seems like aerobatics.
    Just today there was 7 planes flying in what seemed like aerobatic formation very very close together and direstly above out house.
    Again this wasnt just flying its was aerobatics and preforming of maneovers that ive seen at air shows in the past..

    Maybe im being silly but with these planes performing such exercises directly above my home with 2 small kids in the garden i cant help but think of the worst case scenario.
    What are your thoughts on this,if indeed you have any?

    Relax, sit down and enjoy the show ;)
    There are airliners flying over my house, don't know how many times a day, there's cessna flying over almost every town in this country, when money being delivered and there are regular air to ground attack excercises over my grandparents summer house. Jets, have to say. I'm still alive

    It's cool to see, that something going on in the IAC...

    I'd be more concerned about motorists being a potential dnager to you, your family, local area etc than any pilots doing aerobatic manouevres.

    Egg-zackly! ;)
