Mystery plane

    Did anyone see or hear the plane that was flying about on sunday night?

    It circled around for about half an hour in an area that included Letterkenny.

    It was around midnight and was the strangest thing as there were huge bolts of lightning flashing at the same time.

    I reckon it was the size of plane that would land at Carrickfinn but I doubt if there was a flight landing at that time of night.
    :confused::confused::confused:

    It was flying over my house for ages,looked lost,had the cockpit light on.Flying at a few 100 metres,about 200 id say.Headed for Carrickfinn direction.

    The Gardai had a few calls about it.I thought it was just a plane whos GPS wasent working until a neighbour had said they had seen it flying around in the middle of the day for ages aswell:confused:

    Weird altogether!

    Yeah, it was a plane and it was seen landing in Carrickfinn airport.

    The airport landing lights that rotate a beam into the air were also on at the time.There was lightning indeed that night but that was before the plane arrived.

    It was the plane from Prestwick to Carrickfinn it was originally delayed due to a technical problem and by the time it got here it had to go into a holding pattern due to the lightning landed at 20 to 1 eventually.

    My mum was on it it's one flight she did not enjoy
