Punchestown 2008
 

Anybody flying in this year? Whats it like?

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.
