Gar-Bar

Hi,

Anybody know if EI are planning to display Iolar at any public events over May / the summer months?

I would reliably guess the Bray and Portrush Airshow.

I was told last year that the EI CEO also wants her in the UK for a few shows over there during the season.

Hi there
It's been to Kilrush airfield also. I don't know for sure but I am told that any long range trips won't happen until after the May event.

I believe it will be at Weston this weekend (10 Sept) as they have a fly in / open day.

Afaik it was at most of the Irish Fly-In's this Summer...along with a visit ,or two, to the UK

Out of interest I presume EI pilots fly the Iolar but do they do so free of charge? or do they get paid as per a normal working day flying commercial sectors for EI?
