ILAS Mid-Summer Fly-In Photos

The Irish Light Aviation Society (ILAS) held their mid-summer fly-in over the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd. The event was well attended with a variety of vintage and homebuilt types attending. Here are a selection of photos from the weekend (better late than never!).

ILAS was established to promote the construction, restoration and operation of aircraft for recreation in Ireland. The organisation has over 100 aircraft on its books. Examples include a 1940 Piper J5 Cub Cruiser, A Colibri, several Piper J3 Cubs, including one on floats, a 2006 SeaRey Amphibian and a number of homebuilts from the Vans RV series of aircraft.
