Dublin City FlightFest, 15 September

This event was held on Sunday 15 September and involved a variety of aircraft making one or more passes down the River Liffey in the centre of Dublin. The minimum display height was 800 feet, given the location and proximity to some high buildings. An estimated 130,000 people turned out to watch and thankfully rain and low cloud early in the day cleared in time for the flypast. Here is a selection of the participants.
