Anyone know why a four-ship formation is flying over Dublin this morning?

Heard the whistle of the props and ran outside to take a look, they were heading East and my guess is maybe an airshow overseas this weekend and they were practicing or else they were just out enjoying the weather. Hopefully someone can enlighten us with more info.

Hope the mind police from IMO are not looking in or you are in trouble for posting such high security information of "an operational flight" (psst it might be preflight for St Patricks Day)  :rotfl: :stirthepot:

State visit by President of Timor tomorrow or Wed, probably a flightline rehearsal for that.

Does anyone know what show the AC are practising for, there was a single PC9 flying over the south of the city earlier in the week and a 4 ship formation today?
