Ok, this isn’t exactly Irish but it’s so good we thought it was worth sharing. Air France took delivery of their fifth Boeing 787 Dreamliner in November. To mark the occasion, they teamed up with Daher (formerly Socata) and Airborne Films to capture some stunning footage of the aircraft before it entered service.
