Blast from the past

Salthill Airshow 2007

US Airforce Thunderbirds in close formation over Galway Bay last summer during the last Salthill Airshow.

The clatter of incoming helicopters, the abundance of large German cars and the sheen of good health and fortune on the faces of well-dressed ladies and gentlemen strolling around town. There may be a recession [apparently], but some things seem like normal during Galway race week.

One thing that we’ll have to do without is the airshow, cancelled after last year’s helicopter incident.
