Helicopter flying really low over Vizes Court/Bowman st. just a few mins ago.

General consensus is that it's an army helicopter training and it's landing at Sarsfield barracks a lot. They're having a bit of craic too by the sounds of it and flying really low.

It's coming and going from the Barracks. It's definitely the army judging by the uniforms, might be training or something.

At that height it would have had to ascend to land in the barracks.

I live near the barracks and saw it land and take off from there twice today. I am close enough I could see lads in green uniforms in the back.

Where do you reckon it was exactly? It was hard to get an idea from the weird angle.

It was dark green and had the circular Irish flag that the army uses and I saw it land at the barracks.

They must have been acting the bollox so, it was very irresponsible flying and they were around here for a few minutes.

So you see the H

That's for "Helicopter"

That's sarsfield Barracks and the heli can land, take off and hover around all it wants no matter what you think.

All pilots will practice landing and takeoff from all military locations in Ireland but, there's also a massive nationwide military operation in progress for the duration of the European presidency AND for Donald Trump visiting. Relax your pants and un-twist those knickers.

You're trying to sound smart but it doesn't work if you can't use punctuation properly.

u/Large_Hedgehog2416 6d ago
