Does nobody own a camera up there?  Us poor folk in the west don't get to see these delights, so a few pics would be very nice!

Cheers for the details Snapper.

Well not to be outdone, the Air Corps decided to lash the Learjet overhead there a few minutes ago - extremely fast, extremely low   :bowdown:

Surprisingly quiet aircraft!

Nope - it must have been something else you saw/heard:airforce_sad:     

Definitely only three Alpha Jets - I saw them taxi out and depart from r/w 11 and none of them returned to do did a circuit.

If there's so many of them up there lately, could you send one home via Galway? :airforce_laugh: :jaw-dropping:

Just for everyone's info! The most recent Alphas that left Bal went to RAF Valley where they still are. Their on a on a two week deployment carrying out Low Level sorties in the MTA (Mountain Training Area) and ACM with 19Sqn Hawks.

Looper.
P.S: Hey Snapper, four arrived at Valley??????

Hey Machlooper,

The four Alphas @ Valley are different aircraft to the three that visited Baldonnel.

E7, E10, E38 & E118.

LoL !!  :biggrin:

I know, only pulling your leg!! Sorry  :devil:
Ive seen them at low level and the reg's are different alright.
The ones that left Bal did go to Valley though according to reports Ive seen on a U.K forum???
They could have done an overshoot and headed on as they do sometimes, on their inbound journey??
I think the ones on deployment may have gone home today as they were'nt spotted at L/L as they have been throughout their stay. There is rumours of Polish Mig-29's coming to Valley for deployment by the end of the summer but these have died down of late. Would be nice if they popped over to Bal for  an overnight! :applause:
