    Hi all can anyone tell me what type of aircraft this is, note the Irish flag, but non-Irish reg :P (took these pics with my phone so sorry for the bad quality.

    Landed in Galway today... Just wondering what it is. It actually caused a bit of a fuss as it was just in-front of an Aer Arann flight at landing separation was 4 miles... Causing me to almost get dizzy doing orbits :D:D

    Also above today was Echo 272, it was there when i got to galway, fueled up flew to Ballyvaghan then galway city, back to the airport, fueled again, sat on the ground for a while.. then went to templemore... rather strange... :rolleyes:

    On and i took this pic while there also, i like the tail design.

    Whats so strange about that they were obviously training/working, no need to have the :rolleyes: methinks, also no such thing as ECHO272, 272 is the Number for a Garda ASU not an Air Corps EC135.

    The Falcon 2000 is operated for businessman Larry Goodman (initials LJG).
