« on: May 06, 2003, 01:24:22 am »
I saw that they are going to be at the Salt Hill Air Show this year, I saw them back in 87 at the DON!!! Very impressive team indeed!!!!! I hope you all get to see them, a show that should not be missed. '<img'>  '<img'>  ':cool:'

Would you all like to see a day on the calender marked as Irish Defence Forces day??
I look forward to hearing your views on this topic-Certainly never a dull moment on this board. '<img'>  '<img'>  ':cool:'

Irish Air Corps / Irish Air Corps Base.
« on: May 12, 2003, 06:20:55 am »
Do you all think that the Aircorps needs more than one Base?
Or do you all here think that Baldonnel can get the job done. '<img'>  ':cool:'  '<img'>  ':cool:'

Thats not very democratic, infact I've never heard a single member of the PDF say something like that...funny really.

Irish Marine: I wasn't flaming you I really just meant to ask you whatever you might reveal about yourself.

Irish Air Corps / Condition of Baldonnel.
« on: May 01, 2003, 06:03:56 am »
I put this poll up to see what you all think of the current condition of Baldonnel. I personally would like to see Baldonnel get revamped and also new equipment. '<img'>  ':cool:'

Irish Air Corps / OFF Shore Air Corps Helicopter Stations
« on: May 01, 2003, 06:00:13 am »
I was just thinking how practical it would be for the Air Corps to build an off shore Helicopter Stations. It is practical and would be ideal, due to the great work of the Air Corps in saving people every year, from the sea.

Well just something to think about!!! '<img'>

Irish Air Corps / F5's!
« on: May 23, 2003, 06:51:20 am »
I think that the Irish Aircorps pilots should be fitted with F5's that are revamped. They would be ideal for Ireland and they could easily defend the Country.

I dont know about you all but if I was in Ireland at the moment I would be screaming at my reps to build up the Defence Forces in all areas.  

I am not trying to rub it in, but I go to bed at night with the sound of F16's flying over the house. They are from an airforce national guard unit.  Its time the Aircorps got the jets that can defend Ireland.

Silver, Lude and all you motivators on this board, I look forward to hearing your views on this topic. '<img'>  ':cool:'

Irish Air Corps / Irish peace keepers and Congo.
« on: May 22, 2003, 06:32:49 am »
What do all think about the Irish Defence Forces going back to the Congo? I hope the balooba's are not around.

My stance is  simple on this issue. If the Irish defence forces are being sent into the Congo again, they better get some decent fire power and air support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The situation is a mess at the moment. Two UN observers have or ready being killed.

 '<img'>  ':cool:'

If the UN want the Irish Defence Forces to go in, they better fork over some cash for new equipment!!!!!

Its always the Irish Defence Forces leading the way in the UN.

Irish Air Corps / Main gate.
« on: May 22, 2003, 06:18:53 am »
I know if I was in charge of Casement Aerdrome, I would certainly  build a better main gate.

My idea is simple- A big sign that reads Casement Aerdrome, Baldonnel. Head quaters of the Irish Air Corps.

I would have on either side of the gate- A fouga, and a Vampire on display.

The bottom line is it would be great for motivation and great for the people to see. '<img'>  ':cool:'

Irish Air Corps / Air Corps Reserve.
« on: May 22, 2003, 06:10:18 am »
I was wondering will the Air Corps ever look into forming an Irish Air Corps reserve force? Just like the Irish Army and the Irish Navy Reserve forces.  


"I was bord so I joined the Irish Air Corps Reserve"
  Hmm-It would be good to get more young people involved in military aviation-I guess.

Irish Air Corps / Aircorps Stories.
« on: April 27, 2003, 07:30:07 am »
I added this topic to see if people from the Irish Aircorps will add some stories about the Aircorps when they served. ':cool:'

This topic is also open to current members of the Irish Aircorps and also if you know of any stories from family members that also served.

Irish Air Corps / What changes would you like in the Aircorps?
« on: May 14, 2003, 05:26:59 am »
I want to add that I would like to see the age limits changed to 29 and a waiver program for prior service military members!!!  I know that some of you all here wont like this but I think its time to bring in ex pats from all around the globe to help out. You would be surprised the amount of Irish people who would return if Ireland faced major problems.

Recruitment and getting the Irish Aircorps revamped!!!

In closing that new helicopter is motivating, it brings back memories of the Puma!!!!! It would be great if the Irish Aircorps had about 30 of them and also about 300 planes that could get the mission accomplished!!!!  

Yes I know its a long shot but who knows by 2030!!!!

The bottom line Irish people are warriors, and as a nation have a right to a top notch defence force regardless if we continue to be not part of a pact.  Just look at Sweeden!! We should go in the direction of building the Irish Defence Forces to the point of looking like a Country that does not play around!!!!!  

Well just some motivation for everyone on the board, it is now 12am in the States and I am off to bed.
