Haha, that'd take alot of milking (of cows) to get that much subsidisies!

I think we need a look at Google earth to see if anyone is building a little 1000m Tarmac runway in their Garden!

I thought they kept all those stealth aircraft and drones out in Abbeyshrule Oh dear, the Abbeyshrule delusion is back, a friend of mine who works in the radio with me had to talk about Dawkins book on radio, after reading it he suggested it had a strange similarily with the ussual skulduggery talk...

Its a standardised restriction associated with Prisons, Department property, etc as far as I know, just as you have to have permission to get charts of military facilities. It isn't strictly inforced and you can clearly fly over facilities with the correct clearance, just dont dare publish or use an...

Flight and economics, I like it Mr. Flyer1!

Well I only go by what a friend in Kerry is reporting back (my aviation roots in their very vivid connection to myself) are good at informing of such things!

Hmm, thats alot of airplane... and alot more money...

Until a replacement is found (although I'm not sure what the new role will require) - probably go upto something more versaitle than a C208 but along the same lines with low operating costs. One critical thing to note is, if the Corps wants to keep using smaller aerodromes (as they did with Hacketst...

Haha, just out of pure curiosity I saw her at a show and asked what farmers thought of her landing on their property (since the C152 wouldnt be too welcome), she said they normally provide a lift, cup of tea and lunch - I'm in the wrong end of aviation!

Hmm, I still like the idea of basic training in PC9's!

I have to say they will be missed by enthusiasts and pilots alike. Although I remember on a recent visit to Baldonnel (the day before the first AW's arrived), an engineer commented that he'd prefere to have more complex overhaules, rather than almost weekly ones with the Alo's! Very interesting craf...

Hmm, I hope they do well...

Crisis averted and trip completed happily! - there's always the Summer holidays!

Haha, Welcome Keith, great to see you've arrived in AVGAS Nirvana! - What type are you flying at the moment, and do you think you'll go to PPL, or beyond! (I've been working at it for years!). By the way, don't tell the other half how much you're spending on a tin can, just take them for a nice flig...

Yep, they have both, won't be beaten really on much either

It's possible, land prices are skyrocketing in Kerry! (pardon the pun)

I'd Be Up For It Too!

Haha, can we have a Cessna please!

Hmm, This has gotten me particularily interested because I'm going to have to fly Wens week. It seems a bit amusing, Bertie Ahern was talking on the radio (news snippets) recommending staff not to take action as there are many alternatives from Shamrock for the traveling public - is this a real pull...
