OVER 90,000 PEOPLE turned out at Bray Promenade yesterday during the second day of the annual air display.

Headlining yesterday’s event was an F-18 jet from the Spanish air force. The Royal Jordanian Falcons also performed for the crowd flying Extra-300 L aircraft.

There was plenty of Irish talent on display as well with Eddie Goggins, aka ‘The Flying Dentist’, the Irish Air Corps and the Irish Historic Flight Foundation on show.

The Irish Coast Guard also demonstrated a safe water rescue. A tribute was paid to the crew of the R116 who tragically lost their lives earlier this year.

Eamonn Brennan, chief executive of the Irish Aviation Authority added that the yearly event is becoming more and more important for local economies.

He added: “The Bray Display has been a phenomenal success over the last couple of years. Aviation is a hugely important economic driver for our country. This year, we supported not just one but two spectacular air shows over the same weekend at Foynes and at Bray, making this year an extra special one for fans of aviation across Ireland. We see this as a great avenue to raise the profile of aviation and to generate an interest in our industry.”
