    Just after 1am I heard a plane very loud flying over my house in Tralee town, so I went out side to see and could see it in the sky it looked low enough and with the amount of noise it def wasnt at cruising height. It was heading towards dingle area or so.

    Found it really weird have lived in this house and never heard or seen a plane that low and going away from kerry airport in all the 16 years I have lived here. I checked online plane radars but nothing is showing up. Anyone have any ideas?

    it could have been a number of aircraft. how close from the airport is he. it could have been a missed approach or a low take off or as some have said the defender or casa.
