So Here’s Why All Those Planes Were Flying Over Dublin Earlier On This Afternoon

Planes were spotted flying in formation over Dublin today and it was a cause of alarm for some.

Thankfully, no one need worry. The planes were simply practicing their flight routine for the upcoming Bray Air Display.

Among the aircraft that were seen over Dublin today were four tour training aircraft and a maritime patrol plane, which will all be present at Sunday's event.

Aviation enthusiasts can also look forward to seeing the Parouille Suisse, the Swiss Air Force aerobatic display team, at this weekend's air show.
