AirSpectacular at Bray Summerfest<\/p><\/div>\n
Tens of thousands of spectators are expected to gather along Ireland’s east coast on Sunday, July 24th for the country’s largest free air show – the Air Spectacular as part of Bray Summerfest.
The air show is now in its sixth year and the display director, S\u00e9 Pardy from Simtech, is promising another crowd-pleasing line-up for all the family. “We’re delighted to welcome top Irish and international aviation acts to Ireland, such as the world-renowned Blades aerobatic team and RV8Tors. We’re also delighted to welcome Aer Lingus and CityJet to this year’s Air Spectacular for the very first time.”<\/p>\n
Five-time National Aerobatic Champion, Eddie Goggins, will be doing flat spins and daring corkscrew maneuvers; the Black Knight Army Parachute team will be jumping from an army helicopter, 4,500 feet above sea level before landing onto Bray beach; the Irish Coast Guard will be staging a search and rescue demonstration close to the shoreline and the Irish Air Corps will be flying a selection of planes from the Irish Defence Forces.<\/p>\n
Organisers have also confirmed that popular aerobatic pilots, Gerry Humpreys and Dave Bruton, will be taking to the air during the show, which starts at 3:30pm. Marking their 75th anniversary this year, Aer Lingus will be displaying their iconic Iolar aircraft and there will also be a display of microlight aircraft. Pleasure flights around Bray will also be available from Kildare helicopters during the day.<\/p>\n
Bray Summerfest is now in its 30th year and will run over five weekends during July and August. The highlights at this year’s festival include one of the biggest musical line-ups in event history along with the biggest-ever summer funfair and the Arts Tent. The festival programme also includes three new additions: Bia Galore- Wicklow’s Food Festival, Africa Day and Charity Fest.<\/p>\n
As part of An Garda S\u00edochana’s traffic management plan for the Air Spectacular, spectators are strongly advised to arrive in Bray as early as possible on July 24th and to use the DART or other public transport services to Bray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
