Good shots-did you just happen to be passing? I wonder if this might have something to do with the G8 later this year.......

Great shots :) Would be nice to see more training flights in the future.

The picture with the runway lights at the bottom, where did you take it?

Can anyone tell me where the best place is to view this training tomorrow without the cops coming telling you to move. I use Seacash Road when RAF or the road at 25 runway are in for Portrush. But just wondering where to view this big one :D thanks

Reading on another forum that it is trying out RNAV approaches, 07 being the runway with the RNAV approach.  Might get one approach on to 25 again, then the rest on to 07

They are testing new FMS equipment so it could be all types of approaches/holds.
