    Yesterday two planes flew over our house (going west to east roughly) They were quiet loud and flew next to each other. They were fairly low and I thought they looked military ... certainly didn't look civilian, although I didn't get a very good look. I thought perhaps they were going to a fly past, but I didn't hear of anything in the area. Anybody else spot them ? I'm curious what they were

    did you check on the Flight Radar 24 app to see if they showed up?
    What time was it at approx?
    Whereabouts are you exactly?

    Thanks for the reply, that would explain it then. Out of curiosity, how did you know ?

    @nimam

    We're outside Ballinrobe towards Claremorris/Ballyglass.

    They flew past my house east-west and later flew back west-east further south. I got a crap photo of them on the way back - they were closer on the outbound flight and I might have gotten a better picture, but my phone rang as I was reaching for it!

    I wouldn't normally bother with a photo, but I've never see two Casa in formation around here before.

    You know I thought I heard them pass over earlier in the day too, but a tractor drove past as the same time so I didn't think anything of it. Wish I'd taken a picture now afterall !! Anyway, thanks again for satisfyingly my curiosity
