One of a number of Irish women that broke world records in aviation. Their achievements in the early 20th Century need to be better celebrated and remembered. #aviationdaily #aviationgeek #aviationlovers

Excellent piece on Irish US tensions around air access in the 1970s. https://t.co/oxazyu9mzI

Interesting archive. Pan Am was a key player in offering transatlantic services since WW2, and its base in Shannon played a critical role.

[Airways Magazine @airwaysmagazine]

#TheAirchive: 45 years ago in 1977, Pan Am celebrated its 50th Anniversary with this fascinating promotional booklet, published in full.

An impressive performance by Ireland in female representation among pilots. Still too low but outpacing many countries.

It’s Aviation History Month. Why not delve in to Irish aviation, a unique contributor to the development of air travel worldwide.

[Head Aero @headaeroLLC]

When it comes to Aviation History Month in November, there’s plenty to learn and celebrate.
Take some time off during the day and explore aviation history - people, places and technology. 📖

Great thread here on Charles Blair.

In June 1942 Admiral Andrew Cunningham (Dublin), CinC RN Med Fleet, was flying in a US Navy flying boat (in civilian markings) from Foynes Co Limerick to New York. As they approached Newfounderland for re-fuelling, the pilot decided with 1K gallons of fuel left to keep flying!

Good to see an Irish crew operate the first flight off Dublin Airport’s new north runway.

[Atlantic Flight Training Academy @AtlanticFlight]

Congratulations to the DAA on the opening of the new second runway (28R/10L) at @DublinAirport this afternoon. @Ryanair Mentored First Officer Gareth O’Driscoll, who trained with AFTA, operated the first flight from the new runway with Ryanair Base TRE Captain John McCarthy.

Nice original poster including Dublin airport at its Art Deco finest.
