The Trig Team take part in the main airshow as 15,000 turned up for the centrepiece of the celebrations involving up 30 different aircraft. There was aviation magic in the skies over Foynes and huge throngs on the ground as an estimated 20,000 were on to witness two days of daredevil aerobatics display to mark the 75th anniversary of the first transatlantic commercial flight. The busiest weekend ever for Foynes was a fitting tribute to the milestone anniversary of the famous flight that saw the Pan American Airways Yankee Clipper land at first Shannon Airpor, the then seaplane port in the West Limerick town – in July 1939.
