    2 fast jets just dropped into DUB 28. Very noisy. Ed: looked like the F18s.
    The Spanish F18's are listed on the show site as Sunday-only, so would they be here already?

    Heard it, came in low enough over Shankill. Clouds made it hard to spot though.

    Thanks. Do you have any idea of the route it’s likely to take from the coast to Casement? Wonder if it will do a practise manoeuvre over Bray or elsewhere.

    Assuming the Draken is coming also, do you know its reg #? I tried to find it, but failed.

    Viggen rapidly approaching Dublin, keep an ear out in the next 5 mins.

    He's turned and approaching north of Dundalk now.

    Thanks everyone for all the great info here. I think I read earlier there's a Spitfire to appear in Bray on Saturday. I'd hate to miss that, is there anyway to find out what time roughly it will appear?
    I'm tied for time, but this is love :D

    Was at the east end of the runway hoping he'd do a flyby but no joy, hardly heard any noise out of it
