11 RAF jets will fly over Dublin tonight - but don't panic

The planes will fly over Dublin at around 7.50pm tonight.

THE IRISH AVIATION Authority has advised residents of Dublin City that the RAF’s Red Arrows will fly over the city.

However, the residents shouldn’t be worried – it’s all part of the Bray Air Show.

The planes will fly over Dublin at around 7.50pm tonight on their way to Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel.

They will perform in the air show tomorrow. This flypast will include 11 jet aircraft that will fly in formation and the IAA says that it will be loud.

Peter Kearney, Chief Executive of the Irish Aviation Authority said:

“We’ve a long history of supporting aviation activities that help promote the aviation industry so we are very proud to support the Foynes Air show and the Bray Air Display. We are delighted to welcome the Red Arrows to Ireland as part of the Aviation Ireland weekend.”

The Red Arrows, Hawk fast jets flown by experienced military pilots, are known around the world for their daring stunts.

They are based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, eastern England.

    What purpose does it serve to let Micky swan around South America? Living the life of luxury while he preaches his Socialist Bullshit here in Ireland? Be gone you fool, we don’t need a president

    ‘Micky Swan’…. I shall be using that in conversation today.

    Couldn’t agree more, if we want to send out trade missions then lets send out experienced business people, not this pointless twerp.

    And this little pointless junket cost us how much?, more than some struggling families have to live on in a year. Time to cull these wasteful political positions. I’ve no doubt the President is a genuine and honest man, but we simply cannot afford the baggage while being picked clean by an inept political system stretching back decades.

    Glad to see the mentalists didn’t let this go. Head of State in foreign visit shocker! These things have been going on since the days of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Calm down, lads. This is part of his job.

    It seems el Presidente has been on a global junket since being elected. I would be interested to know how much travelling he has done compared to previous presidents.

    An awful lot of angry red hands supporting Higgins and his junket. Genuine question, what would they have done if he had to fly back to nationalise debt as he did when at a gig in Rome some time back?
