I don't know anything about aviation, but I reckon I saw 'jets'.

The jets passed over Ballymount around 5 minutes ago. Great sound from them.

Captain Chaos

i'm glad i'm not going blind so. I heard them first but only seen them for a few seconds. definitely the PC9s and not jets. Flying quite low as well.

Kids screaming - honestly like end of days material here!

I Casa and 4 PC-9's, but one of the PC-9's was way off formation, lagging to the right and rear.
Flew over Stillorgan Shopping Centre twice with the laggard improving slightly on the second pass.

They're starting to arrive at Shannon now for tomorrows show.
A couple of jets have buzzed the tower at shannon and at least one has landed. Awesome speed and great noise

I will always remember the time when Obama was over. The chinooks and his helicopter flew direct above my house at quite a low height (I'm direct flying route to Aras an Uachtarain.

I thought my windows were going to smash and my roof collapse in. Terrifyingly exciting!

took a video (from citywest) of the 6 Swiss F5s taking off in very quick succession at Bal at 1230pm. Thunderously loud
They came in to land at 115pm. Very impressive. in formation breaking off in singles to land one after the other.

It's ok, they left the F-18s at home so we won't feel threatened.

Quite honestly that is exactly what happened, it was pretty frightening at the time. I wasn't the only one! There was a lady on a balcony next to me close to tears she got such a fright, the alarms were going for about 20 minutes and there were several kids screaming for the whole duration.
All calm now thankfully.

But you are free to be a dick if you so please tbf
