9 to 5 weekday Air Corps
« on: May 09, 2011, 02:09:15 am »
Spotted two helicopters in close formation just a few minutes ago - just before 2AM, I guess it's the Secret Squirrels on the way to the Curragh or perhaps just NVG formation training - either way, nice surprise as I stood on the door step having a cigarette!  :blues:

Thought I was losing it when I saw a strange shape approaching my direction  ;D

Front Heli had main lights off for obvious reasons, but Heli 2 was fully lit.

The formation consisted of two AW139s. Think it was NVG training. There out again tonight.  :buttrock:
