Irish Air Spectacular – Volume 3 – Out Now

Irish Air Spectacular is a unique collection of spectacular aviation photography captured over Ireland. Featuring the work of renowned aviation photographer Frank Grealish and others, these images offer a unique air-to-air perspective of flight against the backdrop of our island.

This stunning collection of images has been compiled in a beautiful hardback book, a truly unique volume that will grace coffee tables, boardrooms and bookshelves across the globe. From airliners against our rugged coastline to the spectacle that is Bray Air Display featuring some of the world’s greatest aerobatic teams, the US Presidential visit, U2 concert flypast and much more, these images form a remarkable book of photography.

Marking the launch of Volume 3, Capt. Sé Pardy said: “When we first published Irish Air Spectacular, Volume 1 in 2020, we could never have imagined that, as we approach 2026, we would now be presenting a third volume. This milestone is a testament to the extraordinary generosity of Ireland’s aviation community and of those who have supported our events over the years. Together, we have raised more than €540,000 for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul — an achievement that has surpassed even our highest hopes.”

“As we look ahead to 2026, we also celebrate Aer Lingus on its 90th anniversary – a proud reminder of Ireland’s reputation as a global aviation leader. The remarkable photography featured in this volume captures the skill, history, and excitement of aviation in Ireland. We owe a debt of gratitude to the photographers who freeze these moments in time, as well as the volunteers who bring our events to life in Birr, Abbeyleix, Rush, and Bray.”

Both the book and the desktop calendar are available online, priced at €40 and €15 respectively, with all profits going to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.
