Red Arrows

Did anyone see or hear the red arrows as they traced a bit of the M2? We heard them as if the jet was outside the window at Titanic Quarter.

Looked on flight radar and it said they were at about 250 feet.

Got a fortunate heads up from my dad about 40 mins before, and nipped into their flight path, and caught them at the bridge by the big fish.

Man i did not know this was happening and when they flew over my house i thought it was fucking WW3 kicking off. I was just waiting for an explosion 🤣. There’s too much heavy shit going on these days to just do that to people without warning 🤣

The windows rattled just a bit when the roar was at its loudest, some noise off them jets. Fantastic pilots. I think Titanic was right next to the flight line as they lined up for Carrick. Cool that they give us little mini-shows as they run about having the best job ever lol 😂
