Press Release

"Ladies, this is your chance to meet the Top Guns!"

As the last planes scream out of sight and head back to base after the highly anticipated Salthill Air Show, on Sunday 25th June, the party will just be starting in the Salthill Hotel, which will host a post-show celebration party in association with the Salthill Tourist and Development Association.

An evening of unmissable entertainment is promised with a unique opportunity for the public to meet all the pilots, while helping the Air Show to raise some much needed funds. The evening will begin with a reception at 8pm followed by a gala dinner. Entertainment on the night will be provided by well known band 'Silkwood' and there will be great spot prizes to be won.

Pauline Griffin, General Manager of the Sathill Hotel comments, 'Ours is one of many businesses in the Salthill area which looks forward to the Air Show. This event greatly benefits the local economy and is one which we have come to rely on. We are delighted to host this prestigious event.'
