Surveying, prob google maps or the like. It was doing North Dublin last week

I see it was back again this morning in the same area.

He's now buzzing back and forth over de northside. Even sweeping west and east directly over the airport, a luxury a small aircraft doesn't get very often. He recently started running as far west as Dunboyne, then turned east to beyond Ireland's Eye and back again.

But he's going over the same ground all the time so I can't see the value of the exercise in terms of a 'survey'.

This guy....

you'd love to know what they are doing, cant think of any explanation besides surveying though, maybe it is really high def surveying so each passover is only looking at a very narrow area? i dunno, just trying to make sense of it! wonder is there any way to find out?


must be a nice time to fly with very little traffic to think about,nice weather too!
