Spectators were treated to a dazzling display of aviation expertise from some of the most talented pilots and aerobatic display teams from across Ireland and Europe. The Irish Air Corps opened the show, followed by the Royal Jordanian Falcons flying four Extra-300 L aircraft, headliners of today’s display. A professional national aerobatic team formed in 1976, the Royal Jordanian Falcons have an international reputation for precision, professionalism and spectacular performance. Peter Kearney, Chief Executive of the Irish Aviation Authority said, “Today was a wonderful start to the IAA’s #AviationIreland weekend of spectacular air displays in Bray and Foynes, Co. Limerick. Tomorrow’s line- up at Bray will be really exciting as well and a great chance to enjoy a wealth of aviation talent on display.” Other display highlights included a Catalina Flying Boat celebrating her 75th birthday and a beautiful vintage Aer Lingus aircraft, the DC-3, popular in the 1940s and 50s. Irish aviation was also celebrated at the event with The Irish Air Corps, the Irish Historic Flight Foundation, the Irish Coast Guard Search and Rescue, and the Garda Support Unit helicopter participating for the first time.

  • Airshows in California
    Airshows In California If you like to watch cool airplanes fly around, there is hardly a better state to live in than beautiful California. The great weather has made our state home to many air bases and to many passionate private owners of interesting aircraft. All the crop-dusting that goes on in the Central Valley produces many a fine aerobat. Nasa's Ames Research Center, right in Silicon Valley, has been at the leading edge of fluid dynamics studies for a while (they have the largest wind tunnel in the world). Also, much of the USAF's recon units are not too far from there, in the Sacramento area. Heading south, Lemoore is one of the US Navy's biggest fighter-jet bases. Further south; the LA area headquarters Northrop Grumman and AeronVironment and is home to some Boeing and Lockheed facilities, not to mention Vandenberg's rocket launchpads. And finally, the importance of Southern California's Antelope Valley to the development and testing of modern aviation technologies cannot be overstated, from Edwards Air Force Base and the Nasa Dryden Flight Research Center (where the sound barrier was first broken and where proof-of-concept X-planes still fly) to all the prototyping/testing facilities at Palmdale and the home of Scaled Composites in Mojave. So if you like aviation, there are few places you'd rather be at than California. And where there are a lot of people making aviation happen... there are airshows. If you live in California and think you might enjoy going to an airshow, here are some you can pick from.

  • Circular Administration
    Advisory US.Depanment 01 Tronsporlolion Federal Aviation Circular Administration Subject: A HAZARD IN AEROBATICS: Date: 2/28/84 At No: 91-61 EFFECTS OF G-FORCES ON PILOTS Initiated by: AFO- 800 ; Change: AAM-500; AAC-100 1. PURPOSE. Because aerobatic flying subjects pilots to gravitational effects (G's) that can impair their ability to safely operate the aircraft, pilots who engage in aerobatics, or those who would take up such activity, should understand G's and some of their physiological effects. This circular provides background information on G's, their effect on the human body, and their role in safe flying. Suggestions are offered for avoiding problems caused by accelerations encountered in aerobatic maneuvers. 2. BACKGROUND. Aerobatic flying demands the best of both aircraft and pilot. The aircraft must be highly maneuverable, yet tolerant of G-loads. The pilot must possess skill and physiological stamina. He or she must be daring, yet mindful of the aircraft's limitations as well as his or her own. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular No. 91-48, "Acrobatics-Precision Flying with a Purpose," dated June 29, 1977, discusses some of the airworthiness and operational aspects of aerobatics, but does not consider biomedical factors. The most important of these biomedical factors is the pilot's response to accelerations (or G-loading). The major physiological effects of G-loaaing vary from reduced vision to loss of consciousness. The pilot who understands these effects will be better able to cope with them so that he or she can continue the sport of aerobatic flying. J.
