    Remember the chaos when the United States Air Force jet fighters overflew Croke Park and set off car alarms etc.....

    Well its about to happen again, as part of the Bray Air Show this weekend there are a number of fighter jets flying around today until Sunday.

    So be warned :):) Also before the anti war lobbies get involved, remember that Switzerland is a neutral country :)

    Boy I got some fright when that jet just flew over ny house. It was directly after making a sarcy remark about NATO so I thought they'd have enough of my lip.

    All of the best planes are military, not cool if anti-war lobby get involved.

    Fighter jets don't kill people - rappers do.

    I was at many an anti war march back when the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions were going through Shannon. A civilian air show is absolutely nothing to protest about. It's a spectacle of science and engineering.

    I can appreciate the awesome power and engineering genius of a MIG 15 without having to give tacit support to North Korea or the old USSR

    Every kind of projectile imaginable folded into a little slot underneath the wing. So I believe.
