Two B52 Bombers flying past bray tomarrow.

Run_to_da_hills · 2010-07-24 20:55:25

I heard from a reliable sourse that two B52 Bombers will be doing a flypast at the Bray Airshow tomarrow. Awesome aircraft to look. Not sure if this is a propaganda mission from the USAF but ill will definitally be there with my camera out. I saw them on training missions at Darwin Airport in the 1980's…

They are heading home no "propaganda", its just going to be a fly past i believe. If its the B52H's im assuming its going to be the ones "LA" and "MT" that were at RIAT.

61-0039/MT
61-0002/LA

Big crowd at it? Nice fly by? Did he keep it high? He was allowed own navigation by DUB for it.

Too far to see what the crowd was like. Plenty of boats offshore.

Didn't catch the start of the run but by the time I had got the binos out Skull20 was right over Bray heading east. Wasn't much above Bray Head (800ft) and I'm pretty sure it did go over land.

Goggins looked like he was having plenty of fun.

SAR demo probably on or just finished. Seen more than enough of them so didn't wait for that.

I believe this was the B52: 61-0002/LA from RIAT.
