Hi all
Exchange visits happen all the time.Either an aircraft is sent or just personnel are sent to keep abreast of new developments.Nothing "secret squirrel" about it; just maintaining friendly relations with the Mainland Air Force.

Gttc

Mainland?? 'pilot_laugh'  'pilot_laugh'

Irish Air Corps / C-295 (again...yawn)

Just thinking, guys, about the cost of these airlift aircraft & a thought struck me. Would it be possible to put part or all of their funding under humanitarian relief. After all, isn't Ireland supposed to donate 0.7% of GDP to the aforesaid mentioned humanitarian relief?


Just a thought, that's all.


PS: Great debate!

Great debate people! But the only way the IAC is going to obtain proper transport A/C is to have the words "HUMANITARIAN RELIEF" plasterd over all related government documents.Only then will the people&press buy into it,IMO 'pilot_wink'

Hi there,
well, the ideas so far haven't been worth that much.
We're looking for fast jet interceptors, so why not do a deal? With the Russians....they have more types of interceptors than you could shake a stick at (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know about maintenance, running costs etc), but maybe we have something that they want. Remember how we got the Steyr AUG for a big boatload of butter from the Austrians? Well, let's export something to the Russians as part payment for a squadron of MIG-29s.
We have:
a.) Information Technology & Telecommunications
b.)  Business Skills
c.) Education system second to none
d.) Possible fast track visa for Russians willing to emigrate to Ireland
e.) Butter ..... ah, no, we gave it all to the Austrians
f.) Polish people
g.) Clean Irish Spring Water, it's been pissing here since before Christ was a young lad
h.) the knowledge of how to make a polititian to be on both sides of the fence while sitting on it.
Just a thought... ':cool:' 'pilot_laugh'
