Large 4 prop over Sth Dub today
« on: November 23, 2010, 08:46:50 pm »
Was working in the garden today (Saggart/Citywest area) and heard a large 4 prop going over at altitude,looked up and it seemed to be a Herc, and was followed 5-10 mins later by another one (unless the first one had done a large circuit?), they seemed to be climbing judging by the sound. they flew in a south/southwesterly direction. They seemed too high to have climbed out of Baldonnell and too low to be just passing through so I can only assume they came from Dub. Approx 14:40-14:50 today. Anyone?

Thanks SF, are you putting forward a possibility or is that factual?
If factual, any more info?
Cheers.

Definitely factual but I don't have full details.  They were USAF MC-130s.
