🛩️ On Friday, the Irish Air Corps was proud to be part of a special day at the Shannon Aviation Museum, as the new Eddie Ryan Wing was officially opened.

The wing honours the late Eddie Ryan, museum founder and former member of the Air Corps, whose lifelong passion for aviation began at Baldonnel more than 70 years ago. It is now home to an Irish Air Corps exhibition, preserving aircraft and artifacts that tell the story of military aviation in Ireland and the generations who served.

Congratulations to Jane Magill and all at the Irish Aviation Foundation on bringing this project to life, and on keeping Eddie's legacy flying for generations to come.

Congratulations to the Air Corps' newest Refueller Operatives, who completed their passing out parade today marking the conclusion of the 1st Refueller Operative Career Pathway in 403 Squadron.

Over the past 12 weeks, Pte Liam Walsh, AM Peter Carroll, AM Yan Homola and AM Anthony Cooper completed multiple vehicle courses along with the Fuel Operator Course to achieve their qualification in the safe supply, storage and delivery of aviation fuel to both the Irish Air Corps fleet and visiting aircraft.

Well done to all who passed out today, and to the instructors who got them there.

Congratulations to the 70th 2-3 Star Platoon, B Coy, 27 Infantry Battalion, who passed out at Aiken Barracks, Dundalk.

The platoon has come through a demanding period of weapons handling, fieldcraft, tactics, drill and physical conditioning, completing this stage of their military training and qualifying them for service in their units. 

Ten of the platoon now join the Irish Air Corps, reporting to Casement Aerodrome, before taking up roles in various units within the formation. Among them is Airman Reddan, who was presented with the Seán Rooney Esprit de Corps award, an honour that says as much about the character they brought to the platoon as it does about their soldiering. We are proud to welcome all ten members into the Irish Air Corps and look forward to seeing where their service takes them!

Well done to every member of the platoon, to the instructional staff of 27 Bn who brought them through it, and to the families and friends who supported them along the way.

Today, as Ireland looked up at a partial solar eclipse, an Irish Air Corps C295 carried a team of scientists into the path of totality, approximately 350km off the west coast of Ireland, where the Moon completely covered the Sun.

On board, researchers from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Trinity College Dublin, TU Dublin and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) operated the E-CorMag solar telescope, capturing rare images of the Sun's outer atmosphere during the fleeting moments of totality.

A flight planned to the minute and flown by our own crews from 101 Sqn, No. 1 Operations Wing, in a unique collaboration between Irish military aviation and international science. 🌘✈️
