I think they're working out of Weston as they've been flying in formation over my place(Lucan) the last couple of days.

Nothing to worry about...they are just laying chemtrails.

We just saw them, flying over the city. Defiantly in trouble, one flying at an angle, then straightening, with smoke pouring out when at angle. Another plane was following. Engine oil spilling on to hot engine?

What an insightful post. No mention of "avoiding a near disaster by steering away from a school at the last minute".

Your ability to diagnose engine oil spilling, from a distance, however, really is quite amazing.

Red Bull Matadors

Frank Jnr

The planes you saw over Dublin were a pair of Su-26 aerobatic aircraft being flown by the Red Bull Matadors, an Extra 300L flown by Eddie Goggins and a Cessna 172 photoship.

Keep an eye on the Sunday Independent tomorrow (Sunday 25th July) for a picture (or pictures) taken during the flight.

Sorry, Frank, but paying money for the "product" that is the Sunday Indo is a step too far for me!:p

Dont worry, Franks shots are quite a pleasure to look at. Mr G surely does get around.:)
