Irish Air Corps PC-9 Display Team The Silver Swallows

The Silver Swallows is the name of Irish Air Corps Aerobatic Team. Active from 1986 to 1998 and reformed in 2022. The team was originally equipped with four Fouga CM170 Magister jet trainers, and was drawn from the Light Strike Squadron of the Irish Air Corps based at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel near Dublin.The name Silver Swallows was derived from the colour of the aircraft, and the V-shaped tail of the Magister aircraft the team flew.

Having been re-equipped with the Pilatus PC-9M, the Air Corps College Flying Training School provided four-ship formation displays and static aircraft displays at airshows and events in Ireland and abroad. In 2022 the Silver Swallows was officially reformed.
