    The pair of A-4s was good catch. I don't suppose fighter/attack jets are regular at Shannon.

    Scrath my Post about the SkyHawks, i have just learned they are part of BAE Systems and were stopping over at EINN, they were actually heading to Germany do target work for the German Armed Forces.
