The Viggen was the first act and it finished its display about 2 and a half hours ago and the Fougas were last and finished an hour ago. Would you be able to distinguish them by the sound? I realise i didn't answer your question. Yes there is a play back option

FR24 shows only a 787 having just taken off from Dublin Airport flying over the Phoenix Park, but I think I'd have seen that, and planes on that route aren't usually that loud .....anyone know was that it, or was it something airshow related? I couldn't get out in time to see the whole sky as it flew over. ETA - ah bollix, a tweet I've just seen leads me to believe I just missed the Red Arrows flying over :mad:

A lot of aircraft for an airline like Norwegian, what's the logic I wonder?
.......Norwegian confirmed that despite the substantial upgrade to its premium cabin, premium passengers will not have to pay more. However, selecting a first class suite won’t be possible, as passengers will be randomly selected to sit in the ultra-luxurious suites. In addition, while the seat itself may be luxurious, passengers shouldn’t expect more than Norwegian’s standard premium product, as AirlineGeeks experienced in January on the same flight that is now being operated by the A380. The airline said in a statement: “Norwegian has contracted a Hi-Fly A380 aircraft to operate our evening London-New York and overnight New York-London services for several weeks in August as continued issues with a specific Rolls Royce engine type affecting our 787 Dreamliner fleet has reduced our aircraft availability. This is in line with other airlines that have been affected by similar problems. We are pleased to be able to offer this solution to our customers to ensure that their journeys remain unaffected, and the A380 superjumbo offers a high-quality experience between London and New York courtesy of Norwegian.” It’s unknown whether or not the low-cost airline specifically chose the A380 to shake off its reputation for using older wet-leased aircraft. However, an airline spokesperson told AirlineGeeks that it doesn’t consider the aircraft to be an upgrade to previous wet-leases, it is just what is available to the airline at present and suitable for the route. Additional concerns about the aircraft on the route have been brought up by curious onlookers, paramount being the use of the A380 at JFK’s tight Terminal 1. The terminal, owned by a consortium of airlines including Air France, Japan Airlines, Lufthansa and Korean Air, is already close to capacity with numerous airlines already operating Airbus A380s. With the constraints on the terminal and the needs of the A380, it’s unsure whether or not the aircraft will help the airline regain its reputation or if it will contribute to more delays. The airline couldn’t say what assurances, if any, the terminal has given them to mitigate delays with the aircraft, but with the tight alleyways and the congestion commonly seen at the all-international terminal dominated by widebodies ranging from A330s to A380s and nearly everything in between, it’s a legitimate concern. Case in point, the first flight with the aircraft is scheduled for Friday night and has already been delayed for 4 hours at the time of writing. The airline cited airport regulations at JFK as the reason for the delay and hasn’t speculated further. With Air France’s evening A380 service to Paris and Korean Air’s A380 service to Seoul operating in close time proximity to Norwegian’s planned service, it’s likely that 3 A380s are too much for the terminal to handle at once. The aircraft will most likely be flying on the route until August 23, reports indicate, and will be the first scheduled A380 service between New York and London, one of the.....
