Unsurprisingly the Irish Air Corps will showcase most of its inventory at the show with a number of different aircraft. Although it’s not confirmed yet what aircraft will be performing at the show we can certainly expect to see the pride and joy of the Irish Air Crops the Silver Swallows aerobatic demonstration team flying four Pilatus PC-9M turboprop training aircraft. Given the 60 years of helicopter operations by the Irish Air Corps theme, we can certainly expect to see the Air Corps Eurocopter EC-135 and AgustaWestland AW139 Helicopters. We can also certainly expect to see the true workhorse and the largest aircraft of the Irish Air Corps the Casa CN235-100 MPA Maritime Patrol Aircraft, an aircraft that first entered service in 1994 and conduct maritime patrol, aeromedical, search and rescue and normal transport tasks within the Air Corps. This year marks the end of the CASA CN 235 MPAs service to the Irish Air Corps after 28 years of service so Bray Air Display might be the last opportunity to see those aircraft before they are replaced with more modern C-295 MPA/Persuaders. Following their successful debut display at Bray last year we can also expect to see the brand new Irish Air Corps Demonstration Team Shadow flying three Pilatus PC-12s. The Irish Air Corps PC-12 can perform a wide variety of roles, including passenger, cargo, medical and surveillance operations. These are facilitated by a large cargo door, special mission platforms and air ambulance equipment.
