| Sadly for the first time in six
years we will not have a display from the Irish Air Corps Aerobatics Team
“The Silver Swallows”. And by the time that you’ve read this, the
last of the Fouga Magister jets will have retired from Air Corps service.
The Silver Swallows brought great pride and international recognition to
the Air Corps. In 1997 they won the Lockheed Martin Cannestra Trophy
at the Royal International Air Tattoo which took place at RAF Fairford
beating some of the most famous display teams in the world. They
also brought a great sense of pride and excitement to the huge crowds at
The Salthill Air Show and we were very proud to be associated with them.
We wish to thank all of the Pilots who displayed at our Air Shows over
the past six years and their ground crew who maintained them in such a
wonderful condition. We would also like to thank the Air Corps for
all the wonderful help and support that they have given to us to put the
Salthill Air Show where it is today. |
