Punchestown 2008

[Jimbo1]

Anybody flying in this year? Whats it like?

[500 Fan]

Not flying there but heard there are less machines in attendance. Forty this year versus about seventy in 2007.

Great flying this year.....

ATC worked well & hats off to them for keeping everything moving.....

Allot of action all at the same time as is the nature of the business down there. I saw helis with high 50's and even 60's i think so not sure how many were registered in the end....

No shortage of eye candy (Heli's & Chicks)

But M-ERIT wins the prize by a long way!!!!


Anyone know who the photographers in Area Alpha & Bravo were today (friday) or where the pictures will be posted?? Would like a few snaps of the heli on the way in & out......

Tiny I know who you are , orange orange 4.

The gig was ran very well and there was no abnomal holding times, new ops crew done a great job for their first time out.

Pity the passengers don't stick to their plans.

I hear the IAA are checking for English proficiency now in your licence.

Dublin ATC where fantastic during the event and very patient. Baldonnel were fantastic as always.
