| "BTW, wasn't there a video of the Silver Swallows done for RTE with the Top Gun tune by Berlin "Take my Breath Away" in the background...anyone know if its posted anywhere?" Yes there was jkennedyie, I think it was shown around 1989/1990 as part of RTE's coverage of the Baldonnell Airshow. The footage as far as I can remember was shot a few days previously at an airshow somewhere in Ulster.... I recall it was a great piece of footage.. |
I have the whole 1989 airshow/silver swallows program from rte on VHS, but dunno how to get it to the computer

Irish Air Corps / Easter Rising Parade & Flypast information
« on: April 12, 2006, 12:54:05 pm »
Hey Frank, ive had formations flying over my house all morning - what a sight!! - the main formation flying over was a 6 ship formation of the GIV up front with the Lear 45 behind it with 2 PC9's on each wing of the lear in a V shape with a single PC9 trailing(observing), i got some photos but im still on film so...., the other formation was off to the west and seemed to comprise of the 2-3 cessnas with 2 PC9's off their wings with 2 EC135 following behind but i could be wrong. The sight of the first formation gave me goose bumps, it was like something you would see at RIAT!... it was like the friday before AS 2000 great stuff!, hope this goes on all week ill get my digi cam charged.
