St Patricks Day brought lovely weather and out came all the pilots. Victor was first off in his Sluka then Mark flew in from Granard to get George to change his propellor which he is very pleased with.

Peter and Nick were out buzzing about as was Joe in his Thruster.

We were delighted to welcome our friends from Letterkenny, Johnnie, Tom, Paul, Coulter and Louise  - who thought she was just going for a spin and ended up getting a trip around the various airstrips in the north and had a great time. Then came Damien in his starry skyranger followed by William and Mark. All decamped for coffee and then home before dark.

Brian and Francie were delighted to get their X-Air permitted for another year and took it up for a flight. Robbie didn't fly that day but took Brian out for a spin in his sportscar instead - cold around the ears!
