    They tried to crash into the Towers in Ballymun.
    2 were set on fire, 1 is up on blocks and the last was seen heading for Dunsink lane on the back of a Hi-Ace. :D

    i work in citywest across the road from baldonnel, so they are always flying right over my building... sounds like a plane is going to land on the roof everyday.... good fun to watch though when you get bored...

    A photo in this morning's Independent shows the 4 aircraft doing a fly-by at the inauguration of the President. They must have been doing a few practice fly-bys.
