Keep up the good work lads, unreal going 💪
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

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.
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.
