I would like to thank the Irish Air Corps for the amazing support that they have given to the Aviation Ireland Challenge the past month. We can all agree we have thoroughly enjoyed watching their adventures.

Special thanks to the Chief of the Air Staff, Colonel Dave Corcoran for his full backing to our challenge & to all the men and women at IAC who have been helping Capt. Paddy & Lucky through their training and flying.

Extra special thanks goes to Capt. Neil Dunne for organising all the logistics and indeed the wealth of Stories and posts.
