During a flying display on January 21 2015, a Sud Aviation/Aérospatiale SA-316B Alouette IIIA helicopter rotor severs its tail during a maneuver. The helicopter belonged to the National Angolan Air Force (FAN) at Saurimo (Lunda Sul). The display was a part of the celebrations of the 39th anniversary of the Angolan Air Force. The pilot and co-pilot of the helicopter survived.

January 19th 2015 is Dublin Airport's 75 Birthday.

Dublin Airport officially opened at 9:00am on January 19, 1940. It was a cold Friday morning when the inaugural flight - an Aer Lingus Lockheed 14 bound for Liverpool - departed from Collinstown Airport, as it was then known.

Here's a picture from the early days (with a hat tip to Old Ireland on Twitter)
