UK - Ireland Airshows and Events / Re: No Portrush airshow in 202...
Last post by JasonT1981 - Feb 08, 2026, 04:07Looks like the Reds are spending most of the summer in America.
Won't be available for what would have been Portrush in June and now looks like they are missing every UK show up until August at earliest as it seems they will be at Oshkosh.
One of the options was to share displays with Prestwick, now Portrush not going ahead, wait and see Prestwick pulling out something great like a F18 and Frecce Tricolori with an RAF F35 demo and Portrush missing out.

Last post by casper - Jan 27, 2026, 12:33Two An-12s in bound this afternoon - arrivals 14:10 and 16:10

Aviation News / Re: Belfast to Hurghada Easyje...
Last post by angry turnip - Jan 05, 2026, 11:55Yes, the Devils soup is usually involved,
I recall a very nasty incident when I worked at BFS,involving a group of 10 Czech soldiers going back to Prague on a Jet2. flight. Yes it was a good while back,they were getting 4 pints each at a time in the bar,the crew were informed,so they would not be served more on board. Well one of them objected,and headbutted a hostess,breaking her nose.They had not taken off but the soldiers overheard the cabin crew talking about them.
The aircraft came back to the stand,airport police removed them all,I believe it went to court.
