I came home from work on thusday and the brother told me that an A-10 had flown over fairly low at at 16:30 flying east to west. Might be on its way to the air show. Did anybody else see it?

I remember seeing an A10 (or A10's) making shite of the side of the Information Ministry in Baghdad.....seeing that amount of firepower in action was an awesome sight.
What the **** were the crusties protesting at Salthill for? It was only a day out not some military aircraft expo or something.

A-10's Etc
So now that the Airshow is over i can say that the A-10's and F-16's were our secrets that i could not disclose unless you lot contacted me. I was not going to ever PM or anything like that as i also wanted to get to know you guys better.
The low level A-10 guys got clearence to go low level by Dub ATC for a bit of sightseeing and also for their own Nav training purposes. The A10's were from the same unit which had displayed last year as is the same with the f-16's.
Just this year we found out that an a-10 guy who flew in Salthill last year lost his life in a low level training accident shortly after last years show.
The 2004 Salthill Airshow will take place on July 4th "American Independence Day"
Hopefully when i ask you to contact me next year you might actually bother to do so as some board members got to see great stuff.
Anyhow back to work. :-patriot:

In fairness to fox his secrecy was well founded. It was unfortunate that after contacting him I was unable to go. All reports say it was a great show. Well done to all concerned. It can only get bigger and better.
Crusties will go out of fashion soon...:-patriot:Fail to prepare....prepare to FAIL!

indymedia had it on a few days before the show (ether thursday or friday) and i did mention that indymedia said something about A-10s doing loop de looops in salthill in this thread on the 5th.
i did not think that it was true at the time due to the fact that indymedia is very good at telling total BS!Last edited by Guest; 8 August 2003, 12:28.
