0Birr Breakfast Fly-In
The famous Birr Breakfast Fly-In, the traditional flying season opener, will take place on 15th April. The event last year was attended by over 100 aircraft and raised over €20,000 for St Vincent de Paul Birr. €10,000 was raised by participating pilots on the day with that amount matched by Simtech. The fly-in was supported by over 40 volunteers from the Ormand Flying Club and the local community who cooked breakfasts, marshalled aircraft and manned the radio.
