Piper Cubs at the Birr Breakfast Fly In 2015

On Sunday last, April 19th, the Ormand Flying Club held its annual Breakfast Fly In at their home airfield in Birr, County Offaly. The day started off misty with low cloud but it soon burned off to leave a  warm and sunny day, perfect for Cub flying.

Some low cloud lingered on the trip down but it was easily avoided.

I was the first to arrive in India Oscar but was soon joined by around seventy other aircraft including six other Cub types.

Piper Pa18 Super Cub EI-BID

Piper Pa12 Super Cruiser EI-CFH

Piper J4 Cub Coupe EI-GDJ

Piper Pa18 Super Cub G-PIPR

 Piper Pa18 Super Cub EI-ELM

Piper Pa18 Super Cub EI-DTS

The flight home was into a strong easterly wind but the earlier mist and cloud had gone to leave perfect conditions for some low 'n' slow flying.

70 mph @ 500 feet

Back at base, ready for the next mission.
