AIR CORPS IN THE NEWS !

[Silver]

PLEASE POST ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE AIR CORPS, WHICH APPEARS IN THE MEDIA, IN THIS THREAD.

------------------------------------------------------
 From the Sunday Independent, 28-9-03 :-

Sligo-born, former Air Corps technician, PJ McGoldrick, is set to start his own airline !

This new venture, to be know as EUjet, will be based at Shannon airport.
"EUjet is a joint venture with Debris AirFinance, formerly part of GPA but now owned by Daimler Chrysler's aviation wing. It has a number of Fokker 100 jets on it's books. The 108 seater aircraft, no longer in production since Fokker's bankruptcy a number of years ago, are not as popular as the ubiquitous Airbus and Boeing jets and EUjet is McGoldrick's answer to the problem of marketing them".

McGoldrick is also former head of Heavy Lift, Ryanair and TransAer.

Elswhere in the paper.....

RTE Radio Presenter, former Stockbroker and Ryanair investor, Shane O' Donoghue suggests -

"If it (Ryanair) ever gets it's mits on Baldonnel, it'll change Irish aviation forever "

Some great footage of one of the CASA's on Six One News this evening.
Reporter Paschal Sheehy was onboard for a flight off the south west coast to monitor the US 'ghost ships' which are under-tow to the UK for scrapping.

(Only downpoint was when he said he was onboard 'the' Air Corps CASA, making it sound like we only had one such aircraft !)
