Airshow 100 Punchestown 6-7th june 2010
« on: February 11, 2010, 12:58:14 pm »
Hi All

Let’s hope they apply for the license nice and early to avoid another MACH 1 Issue   :banghead:
The webpage looks promising but the short display time suggests that it will be a limited display
Casement would be the ideal take off point so military jets could easily arrive & depart quickly

Here’s the starting line up so far 

•Breitling Wing Walkers :thumbsup:
•The Yakolevs :thumbsup:
•Team Viper :thumbsup:
•The Irish Air Corps :thumbsup:
•Eddie Goggins Aerobatics :thumbsup:

 Here’s the link:  http://www.airshow.ie/content.aspx?id=203

It begs the question why Baldonnel couldn't have hosted this show celebrating Irish Aviation's 100 Anniversary

The PC 7 team performed at the 75th anniverary of the IAC back in 97' I wasn't that impressed by them.  Hosting airshows in Casement has become a taboo subject since 2000.  Would love to see some classic aircraft at this ie Hurricane, Lysander etc.  After all it is a celebration of 100 years of aviation in Ireland.....

What about the Spitfire in the IAC colours  :ireland:
and the DH Rapide two very important additions to celebrate this historic anniversary
Last year at Portrush wasn't there a UH-1Huey too if this is to celebrate Irish Aviation's 100 shouldn't this include the whole of Ireland  :smile:

Joey1,
Spitfire Tr9 PV202 ex IAC 161 is no longer in Air Corps colours, it now sports a Royal Netherlands Air Force scheme.
The DH84 Dragon Iolar was damaged in the hangar at Dublin Airport hopefully it will be repaired some time.

looking more promising :thumbsup:
their seem to be  new additons popping up too well ???

I haven't seen "Twister Duo" before any member know how good their display is   ???

Sad to hear about the The DH84 Dragon Iolar  :airforce_cry:
she would have been a nice site to see as part of the static display

and the Avro-631-Cadet

and who remembers the  the Flypast of  April 2006 whe not perform another historic formation flypast  :buttrock:

The twister duo's routine looks really technical... would be interesting to see how it turns out in the sky.

Hi all

In a very bold statement the website Quotes "there's never been an air display with a lineup like this "Un Quote
Mmmm... I beg to differ :rock:
what about The Galway Airshow and Air spectacular 2000 and if you take Northern Ireland there's Portrush

All the above had cracking displays Thunderbirds / The  Rad Arrows / Rockwell B1 lancer/  and who could forget The Luftwaffer Tornados god i miss the Tonado display :buttrock:

I remember at Galway When the 2 Tornados arrived one refuelling the other Brilliant  :thumbsup:
and our very own IAC :ireland:

I could go on but i risk being boring

No dutch f-16 for airshow 100 according to f-16 display site, dates released today and according to some forums the show is in doubt as a licence hasnt been granted yet due to objection from local stud farms. :-\
