Small world... my in-laws live on Raphoe Road... and its quite amusing to stand outside, look straight up as a heavy flies directly (and I mean directly) overhead :)

I have a funny feeling when my father in-law was looking at the section, he never went there on a sunday afternoon... either that, or he just wanted something to complain about!! :rolleyes:

yeah that is part of the reason we rented the place here, love the a/c flying over head, dman i must be a plane nut!!! can normally tell what it is by the sound it makes, but damn i am sure one day a heavy is goignt o come in so low he is going to take the tv aeriels off the roof :lol: :lol:

i live in flat bush, raphoe road, the jest and such fly right over my place on approch, it is quite intresting, most deploy gear as they go over, some after, and there are the odd one or two that have gear and flaps are down before theyu fly over,

Thought I remembered reading the words Raphoe Road here- there has been loads of parties at my mates house there over the holidays! Hope we didn't wake you guys up! :unsure:
