HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
What a year 2022 has been! For our 9 lads in the mid-Atlantic, 2022 represents the culmination of years of preparation, training, & persistence. Although our teams are now just beyond halfway, to have even gotten this far is a massive achievement & something

Rest in Peace Seán 🇮🇪

This week we saw @No3OpsWing AW-139 land on the Dutch naval ship the @ZrMsKarelDman. Thank you to @AdriaanPalm & @COM_NLMARFOR and representatives from @IrishAirCorps @defenceforces. On the 26th November 1963, the @IrishAirCorps took delivery of its very first helicopters!

@DeeCeeIRL @Billbrowder I think both would fulfill our needs, however if we don't have a mid-air refueling capability then the F16 with conformal fuel tanks is the way to go.

[Michael Barcoe @BarcoeMichael]

Just finished reading 'Red Notice' by @Billbrowder.Amazing courage by Bill, Sergi Magnitsky &the rest of their team as they expertly managed an investment fund in Russia sticking to their honest beliefs & strong moral compass.I'd highly recommend reading, insightful & inspiring.

Today was a great opportunity to discuss some of the gaps that exist in the states air capability. Thank you to the Oireachtas Foreign affairs & Defence committee for their engagement on this.

[Cathal Berry @BerryCathal]

Huge thanks to @IrishAirCorps for facilitating the Oireachtas Foreign Affairs & Defence Committee’s visit to Baldonnel today.

Superb, but sobering briefings. Candour very much appreciated.

🇮🇪’s lack of air capability is a major national strategic risk.

We need to fix this.
