Familiarization run to Moneygall

[Ascot 1960]

Just a note. Seen at around 17.00 'Night Hawk 9071' formation (lose) over Weston/Lucan area for about 10 mins, after this the formation made its way to Moneygall via Kill, N7 (CH-47's x3 and Marine 1 and 2)

Yeah - they passed over Naas shortly afterwards. I heard them as I was mowing the grass, so they must be really noisy.....

Saw them over Celbridge yesterday around 5.30.
They certainly made some noise only got some distant shots as couldn't get the camera in time.

Saw them taxi and then lift from Dublin at around 16:00 as I was sitting at the '100' (Formerly 'D') gates waiting for my flight.

Also caught one of the transports departing as I was on the M50, couldn't make out if it was a C-17 or C-5.

There are 4 CH-47's but one remained shut down on the western apron while the rest departed and 2 VH-60's. The Chinooks were parked there again this evening, didn't see the Black Hawks, but they did taxi from beside the CityJet hargar on Friday. I'd assumed they all might have based themselves out of Bal until Monday, other than orientation flights.

Weather for Monday looks quite breezy so heli's might not be an option.
