I have a friend living near Dublin Aiport and this is what she wrote today...
Make you think where all those planes are going???


Here is what she wrote anyway!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Living so close to Dublin Airport we rarely notice planes flying right over the house as they begin their landing...nor do we notice them as they gain height in their ascent.
But you know what?
You certainly do notice things when they are not the norm.

550am this morning I was looking outside.
I was awake early because of my constant back pain ...and was standing at the back door (cup of tea in hand) looking out at the dawn breaking....cloudless sky...as I looked into the east watching the weak sun gain strength....I saw jets.....lots of jets....one after the other.....very high.....and travelling at some speed.
Hmmmmmm I thought ....immediate thoughts were of G W Bush and his threats to Iraq.
All day I have noticed ordinary planes taking off and travelling in a part of the sky that they never EVER fly in (not in the 10yrs Ive been living here)
Im wondering is GWB gathering his ammo together in a US base somewhere in Europe.
If so this adds further fuel to the Irish publics anger at our so called neutrality status being made a joke of by allowing use of our airspace by US fighter planes.

Of course Im only surmising...I have no proof that all these jets that I saw very early this morning were nothing but passenger jets flying to Russia .....all 30 -40 of them!!!!
