Yakovlevs Soar High Above Ballinlough

The organisers of the Irish National Country Fair are delighted to announce that the crack formation aerobatic team, the Yakovlevs, will perform each day at Ballinlough Castle.

The Yakovlevs are Europe's premier formation aerobatic team, flying four powerful Russian Yak-50 and Yak-52 Aerobatic training machines. Their display programme has been developed with the family in mind, demonstrating precision flying at its best as well as the unique capabilities of the high performance Yak aerobatics aircraft.

Their 20 minute display each afternoon at the Irish National Country Fair involves close formation manoeuvres and graceful aerobatics that will amaze and enthral young and old alike.

Formed in December 1999, the team flew a successful first air show season in 2000 and have continued thrilling the public at more that 700 shows since then. They have been seen by an estimated 50 million spectators throughout the world and now they make their Irish debut at the National Country Fair.

Marked in their distinctive colour scheme, the aircraft perform an aerial ballet with breathtaking passes at close range, soaring formation manoeuvres and billowing smoke to highlight their transition through the sky over Ballinlough Castle.

Nowhere else in Ireland can this amazing display be seen. Be sure not to miss this exclusive air display at the National Country Fair 2010!

The Irish National Country Fair is organised by Country Sports Fairs Ltd
