Irish Air Corps / Spitfire 161 to visit Baldonnel?
« on: March 15, 2006, 10:10:55 am »
Sealion I saw it on RTE six one last Thursday, and Sky News Ireland at 6.30 and 10pm the same day. Think the Sky piece was longer....not sure.

The Green aircraft wasn't a Kingair. It was a Pilatus PC12. The Pilatus bods flew into the Don in it.

Irish Air Corps / Time to set these guys straight

Blimey, Fouga, just had a quick look at their forum after reading your post. Words fail me.
What are these guys on?
Jeez.

Irish Air Corps / Air Corps Training
« on: February 05, 2004, 12:17:17 pm »
Eh, yeh, on the topic in hand I think basic army and weapons training is benificial to anyone.
And perhaps of some benefit to pilot officer or NCOs. Be that character or confidence building if nothing else. Clearly for their daily role in a military airwing it's of little daily use.
However, don't forget it also qualifies Air Corps personnel to take part in Irish infantry operations overseas. Where they depart with the battallion in DPMs and carry out the duties of a soldier while in theatre.
Without this, Air Corps personnel would never be stationed overseas. Or at least on very rare occasions - like John O'Brien running air operations in Somalia.

Well done Foxtrot.
Unfortunately Irish Air Corps is the english name that has always been adopted and used for the Corps.
Of course, in either case AER Corps is grammatically incorrect. Aer Chor would be closer if one wished to use an Irish sentence. AER Corps is simply wrong.'>

[great pics........ Tucco, Beats the hangar???
Hmmmmm ever bin in it? - Guinness]
Eh, yes. I too have walked across the discarded Vampire wing, and pushed past the remains of 3-KE to see what's stored there. Rubbed the dust on 215, and seen the tape peeling off the Anson.
Your point exactly?

Wow, and you figured all that out by yourself?
Yep, I guess one unarmed, and one armed, 1970s turbo prop would frighten the bejaysus out of anyone planning an attack.
Still, good to see us attempting to enforce no fly zones.

How can the Irish Air Corps be the most useless Air Force in the world when it's not an air force, it's a Corps?! '>
BTW, the IAC mission statement is outlined in the White Paper and developed more in the last annual DF report. As far as I know it's available on Defence.ie.:'>

Irish Air Corps / Colour schemes
« on: December 30, 2003, 12:38:50 pm »
Yep, it's as appears on the cover. The pic comes from the paintworks dept at Pilatus. Their guys will apply this scheme as the aircraft come off the product line.
The Air Corps has gone for low viz colour scheme, except the roundels will remain hi-viz for some reason.
