PC-9's to fly over city!

A formation of Fougas performed a flypast sometime in the mid nineties for the Patricks Day Parade. I can't remember the exact year.
I do however remember RTE were covering the Parade live as they usually do. Their camera's completely missed the formation. All the viewing public saw was an RTE reporter point skyward as the jets zoomed over. Horrific direction on the part of RTE.
In 95' the Silver Swallows carried out a flypast over Dublin Airport on the arrival of Bill Clinton.
It would be very nice to see the PC 9's trail smoke at any occasion they appear as they can be fitted with smoke generating pods.

Smoke pods would be nice but they either cost E250,000 per pod or per pair of pods, can't remember exactly.  Can't see the Minister splashing out for that.
