Yes EI-ABI (Iolar) will be flying again, Aer Lingus are putting a lot of work into getting her serviceable again, its starting to take shape, we painted a couple of wheels and engine mounts off it the other day, I believe Mueller is taking a personal interest in this project!!, Cant wait to see her ...

Well im glad to report that things arent looking as bleak as they were, Dublin Aerospace have just won a contract for 12 Aer Lingus A320 aircraft, and 8 end of lease Easyjet aircraft, and things seem to be running very well there, good to see some of the green ones back in Dublin!!!

Its great to hear some of the interesting stories about this plane, the rallyes are really the workhorses of the GA scene, they seem to stand up to plenty of abuse, i did an annual on this aircraft a few months back and it was clear to she that the old bird was showing her age, but she deserves her ...

Hi Sierra Papa, im pretty sure ATSI down in Waterford will do light aircraft painting, we did a good job on a Piper Seminole when i was down there. I can get you a contact number if you PM me!

I am sick and tired of all the PTC bashing that goes on here, in my opinion they're prices seem to be on a par with most other places ive enquired to, Sigmar wanted 95,000 grand for a integrated course, and they also promise you the sun moon and stars, its not just one company at this, and as for ha...

hi guys just windering would aeraraans cost saving initiative of taxing at large airports on one engine be part of the problem here? anyone know who the pic was I'm not sure if it would, Infact i think in this case it is one of the reasons the aircraft didnt end up in the terminal building(what the...

I'm still interested Keith, just havent had a chance to get up and collect it

May I echo everyone elses comments, thoughts are with the families of the victims, its a sad sad tragedy and a sad day for Irish aviation

Hugo, ejection might not have been possible as they were doing low-level exercises, and ejection is only possible above a specific altitude.

My best mate flys one for them just off the phone to him it wasnt him but he sounded a bit shook, dunno what to read into that but he said he's not allowed talk about it, so i hope the crew is ok

No worries lad, i'd be happy enough to have a look over it if you want!

I had a look at the programme on RTÉ player but when i pause the video at the exact point the reg is completly visible the big pause button is in the way!! But in my opinion it looks like a PA-28 Arrow if anyone can confirm that please let me know, but i looked at the register and the only ones on t...
