Hi Walt,

glad this site has been of some help :) I'd love to meet up too but unfortunately there's a big lake between us (the Atlantic I think :) ). Have you ever done displays over here or have you any planned in the future?

Hello again Casper,

In answer to your question,

Because of the huge task of communication and logistics I seldom respond to requests to perform outside the USA except for a few considerations in Canada and Mexico.

Also the money is a challenge to most all events because of transportation expenses, Ireland would be on the top of the list for ALL of our team if we were to plan any overseas activities.

I know without a doubt we would feel like we were citizens of the country from the time we landed.

The internet makes it the next best thing to being there.

We had a pair of f-15s display at the Salthill Airshow in June and they were very well received. A part from the fact that Irish people are so friendly we very rarely get any of the big events that other countries may take for granted - airshows, concerts etc. So when they do happen we do show our appreciation :)

Hi Jenny,

you did indeed seem to have a fantastic time. I've been looking at the photos and videos etc on the site and one question has sprung to mind - have you ever been airsick during a performance?

The only time I was ever close to feeling airsick was in Al Ain back in January, but that was instigated by an already upset stomach from all that spicey food I'm not used to...

Hello Casper
I am back in the loop. I got locked out because my email address changed. Jenny and I are putting together our 2007 schedule. Right now she is at home for the hilidays in Ohio and I am in Texas with my huge family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to my Irish friends.

Thank you for the nice holiday greeting Casper. Jenny and I are now working on our 2007 schedule. I am in Florida getting dead of winter maintenance performed and Jenny is in snow country working the computer for her first full time airshow season.
Now that she has no blocked out dates for other activities she can reach the sky with possible dates. Our first confirmed show for 2007 was Dayton Ohio. We have many others in the cooker and will release the sites and dates as they are confirmed.

May they rest in peace, those graceful masters of the sky...

Happiness is Tomcat-Shaped.

I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning.

Hi Jenny,
long time no hear. Came across these photos recently and I think the girl on the right is you. Am I right?
