Air Corps News / EC135 and AW139 articles in February An Cosantoir

« on: March 17, 2007, 09:50:23 pm »

I was in Easons on O'Connell St in Dublin on Friday evening, and they still had a few copies of the February An Cosantoir. You could try calling and asking them to hold on to a copy, or give An Cosantoir a ring for a back issue.

Three good articles in February's An Cosantoir about the new helis, plus a picture fold out in the Connect newsletter of the helis.

Irish Air Corps / For all you Ryder Cup fans...

Also in September's Irish Air Letter, there was a short paragraph saying that Ireland was borrowing smoke pods from the RNLAF, from the PC-7, for use in cermonies at the Ryder Cup. Any one know anything more?

Irish Air Corps / PC9 Air Firing

« on: September 19, 2006, 07:14:26 pm »

I was reading in September's Irish Air Letter that live air to air firing was planned with the PC-9s this year. The article mentioned that a Learjet (31 I think), would be comming to Baldonnel for the task. Also it mentioned that some ex-RAF pilots would be comming over to act as instructors, but that's about as much as I got. Does anyone know anymore?

Quick question for Frank: In your piece on the Air Corps in the European Airm Arms survey in AFM last year, you mentioned the AC were looking for 8 AB 139s; was this a typo, or are they eventually looking for 8 of these machines?

Thanks for the info Taj, maybe in the future they'll look into buying smoke pods. Does no additional weaponry mean that the recce pods are gone post-Marchetti?

Irish Air Corps / Marchetti's and Dauphins

« on: December 28, 2004, 09:46:13 pm »

Seeing that I'm on a posting roll here, what's the current state of Marchetti and Dauphin operations? Are they still flying? Will the Marchetti's be sold to Belgium as was mentioned some time back? Thanks for the info.

Also, off the point, but when is the PC 9 sim going to be up and running (if not already)?

I've asked this question before, but here goes again. Does anyone know what other stores the PC 9's can/will carry? Will they use the Vinten recce pods from the Marchetti's, or smoke pods in the future?
