Hi

Just to let ppl know there is going to be  alot of heli activity around waterford for the tall ships, a landing site has been cleared right next to the funderland area on the docks, and i think Celtic Helis are going to be doing trips. The Landing site is dwarfed with tall antenna's, and the big wheel of course,  and once the ships are in place it might not be all that fun to be flying in and out of.

regards P.D.C

I'm looking forward to the Bray Airshow next Sunday - especially the Ex-IAC Spitfire !

.........hope the weather holds up ?!

Why aren't the AC doing a 4 x PC-9M formation at an Irish show (like they plan on doing in Scotland, in September this year) '>

[Fouga]

They did a 4 ship PC-9M formation aswell as a Single ship solo demo at Salthill.......... '>

[Frank]

Who said they weren't doing a 4 ship display in Bray?

[xpih]

I see that the posters advertising the Bray show have a picture of the 6 ship formation taken from the rear ramp of a Casa over Bray seafront. Looks great. Were you involved in that photo-shoot Frank and will there be any samples appearing on this site from it?

[Fouga]

Can we see it here please?

[Silver]

I presumed that because the Bray Airshow site is advetising 'Irish Air Corps Pilatus PC-9M' as opposed to '.....Pilatus PC-9M x 4' that only one would be appearing for a solo display ??

All the better if 4 (or 6?) appear !

I too would like to see that 6-ship formation photo ........ or better still get a copy of the poster !!

Hi Guys,

As far as I know there will be a 4 ship PC-9 display by the Air Corps and the routine will be similar to the one flown at Salthill.

I wasn't involved in the taking of the publicity shots over Bray, I haven't even seen the pictures, but I'll make some enquiries next week and see if I can get some copies for the website.


Regards,

Frank.
