Anyone know the predicted flight path.

sparrowcar

Liffey from the west and right turn just before the east link bridge down to aviva.

TedR

Thanks!

any idea what it is, is it fast jets do you reckon

Last time was F16s out of Germany I think

Would that route not mean a left turn as they pass mouth of Liffey by the way

excited ;-)

That would be Liffey from the east.

As per OP it's rumoured to be Ospreys.

Tenger

There were 3 Ospreys on the ramp at Casement yesterday.

They are from the USS Mesa Verde(amphibious landing vessel) which is docked in Dublin.

The weather isn't going to help very much for trying to spot them on approach.

Larbre34

The weather will clear by then, should be fine for a slow run of V-22s.

Hopefully. Weather.com saying rain until 7.45pm (in fairness thats better than the earlier forecast)

5500

3 Ospreys airborne at baldonnel

Tenger

3 of them airborne from Baldonnell. I'm a long away and can heard them.

Heading south.

Not showing on ADS-B.

Larbre34

This crap is clearing quickly south. hopefully a relatively clear view for the City of the Ospreys formation, but also hopefully a dry evening for the game

POBox19

Are they going to buzz the Russian embassy on the way?

Tenger

Loitering over Clondalkin/Tallaght.

7.11 Edit- engine noise gone

Abort?

EchoIndia

Departing for Aviva in few minutes. Right turn direct after departure.

Tenger

Have visual on them over Clondalkin, heading East

finnharpsboy

Heading over Ballyfermot now enroute

emo72

Seen them in chaplelizod. Holee Sheet!

artanevilla

Just flew through town.

Trebor176

Will they return to Baldonnel, or land on the carrier after?

Tenger

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121030872#Comment_121030872

I would guess back. Their support staff are there

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121030872#Comment_121030872

I'd imagine the carrier will have to move out into the bay if they are to land on the carrier.

I wouldn't think Dublin Port would allow that sort of thing within their grounds.

I got a great video over chaplelizod. But it's an ordeal leading it up to here

Loving the gull - probably thinking WTF... 😀

Storm 10

Sad news this morning US Marine Osprey gone down in Australia several dead and others seriously injured 23 on board wonder if they will be grounded again. It's on Sky News

p_haugh

The V-22 is so unreliable that the US president is specifically blacklisted from flying in them.

EchoIndia

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121032856#Comment_121032856

The cause of the crash in Australia is not yet known and it may have nothing to do with the MV-22's systems or reliability.

It appears that there are several reasons why the POTUS doesn't fly on the V-22, including that it was never intended to be a primary transport for the POTUS. https://www.quora.com/Why-isnt-the-president-allowed-to-fly-in-the-V-22-Osprey

Have these left yet? USS Mesa verde left Dublin this morning

Trebor176

An Osprey or Ospreys are up now. I am in Clondalkin, and can hear the propellers.

All three just flew over my head in Tallaght, in with the rotors in aircraft configuration

aido 1976

And again, travelling at a grand speed

Trebor176

I spotted two (just missed the third). They must be doing a display before departing.

GBX

In Citywest. There doing laps around Casement. The house shook!

Or giving the Irish lads an ould jant before the leave.

moonshy2022

Just local flights only, I’m assume there’s a few Air Corp personnel onboard.

EchoIndia

Landing now for fuel

SteM

They were low over Citywest a few minutes ago. Three of them right over the house.

Trebor176

Apparently they're heading back to their carrier now. I'm sure I can hear faint propeller sounds.

denisor

All three are on the apron at Baldonell now with engines running.

justmehere

ffs the damn noise of them. It's 2120 now, and the noise has been going on for ages. Is there not some law regarding noise disturbance?!

MOD NOTE

A number of off topic posts that were derailing the thread have been deleted.

EchoIndia

They are departing now, towards Killiney. Finished at Baldonnel, I think.
