Anything special planned for the 17th December?

The wings are together and they are currently putting the fabric on them.
Dont forget that the 17th Dec is the day that the Lear 45 is due to arrive in the Don, so this mass fly-by thing that they were planning may take place then!

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if anything is being planned anywhere in Ireland on the 17th December to commemorate 100 years of powered flight?


Regards,

Frank.

Is the 40th anniversary of the arrival of the first Allouette not also due some day soon?

Have not heard of anything in particular planned for that date but did hear a whisper that the Air Corps were building a replica Wright Flyer ! Could this be true or is it just a ball hop ? ':<img:'>

From what I have read, a Wright Flyer replica kit was purchased a while back (for €20,000 !) and is currently in one of the hangars (still in kit form last I heard).
