LooL, true ;-)
At one time i counted 19 Helis in that field, 10 R44's ;-)
There was quite some traffic at that day, at peak times a landing every 3-5 minutes. Almost as busy as the Ballybrit racetrack the day before.

Back in the "good old days" we used to park up to seven helis along the stone quayside outside that field. The drill was tails over the water regardless of wind - to make more room - and with no ground frequency or handler either..............

@Heliski:
We still land on the quay on normal days, but the IAA told us in advance of the raceweek that they don't really appreciate that
and that they will be on the site to watch us. 
And i must say that's fair enough with so much people around.....
