This fiasco reads like the Mach 1 farce of a couple of years back. To think the last recession of the 80's could be considered the golden age of airshows in Ireland with successive Air Spectaulars being held at Baldonnel. Maybe going forward lessons can be learnt from these show's-get a headline act from another airforce other than the RAF, Patrouille De France for example. The Reds are amazing but have been seen so many times now on these shores. Hold the show at an airfield -maybe one of the numerous regional airports throughout the country. A greater mixture of participants, from fast jets to classic warbirds.
Remember how Air Spectacular opened in 1987-several low flypasts by the Aer Lingus 747-fantastic. This could have been a good opener for the illfated Airshow 100; with an Airbus A330 buzzing the fields of Kildare-oh forgot about the horse fraternity
