this was a free event that wasnt just slapped together at the last minute. id say the planning and organisation to get flight clearence and planes took a lot of work. it is pure irish begrudgery. "they didnt send the planes through as quick as i wanted so its all bad"

FFS, firstly, it wasn't an air show. Secondly, it was windy and they're lucky it wasn't as bad as it was that morning. Thirdly, the flights were over a city, not a big empty field around an isolated airfield. I could go on.

Joe, cut all 3 of them off while you're at it.

Couldn't agree more. Let's move on to the camogie final. Great legs on display.:pac:

Who footed the bill - the Irish Aviation Authority - i.e. us. Another desperate attempt to shore up "The Gathering", just like throwing 20 million Euros at promoting tourism to Ireland between now and the end of the year. :rolleyes:

Moaning about the gaps between the flights and some wanted to see air displays.

They didn't fly low enough, the cafes were busy, and they had to look in the sky for some peculiar reason.

The cafes were busy.... please tell me someone didn't actually say that? :eek:

Apparently there was a long break in the middle of the show, when an chartered private jet DUFFY-1913 flew across their path on the way to Montrose..

Surveyor11

Not sure what people were expecting, it was a 'fly-by' (not 'air show') and with an estimated 150,000 people in a city the cafes were going to be packed. I enjoyed the event, as did my 7 year old. The transport could have been better, but that's for another day. This was arranged months ago and pulled on the goodwill of commercial, military and civilian aircraft owners. If people didn't enjoy it, the are free to leave and perhaps consider attending an 'Air-show' - different experience altogether (and you pay in).

JM Skipton

Someone will surely come on now asking why there weren't 20 red arrows standing on each others shoulders on each wing of the plane

I think windsor was built before heathrow Joe.

road_high

Did he just ask why did they build Windsor Castle so close to the airport?? LOL

Roger_007

FR IGGY...:eek:

spank_inferno

Yeah.... Why was Windsor castle built to the ever present Heathrow Airport.

That airport was used in the Crusades.

joe316

From wiki:

Windsor Castle was originally built by William the Conqueror in the decade after the Norman conquest of 1066

Joe, I think the castle came before Heathrow.

neris

why did they build windsor close to heathrow??eh, em, um, eh well joe now id say when whatever king it was back in the day buidling windsor wasnt thinking about the airport that would come a few hundred years later
