== Története ==

A háború utáni sugárhajtású korszakba 1956. július 30.-án lépett három [[de Havilland Vampire]] kiképző repülőgéppel. A gépek érkezésére lebetonozták a kifutópályákat és a guruló utakat is. 1962/63 kemény tele rávilágított a helikopterek szükségességére, elsősorban a kutató mentő (SAR) feladatokban, ekkor a Légihadtest [[Aérospatiale Alouette III|Alouette III]]-as helikoptereket vásárolt.

 

 

1936 was noteworthy for the introduction of the Boy Apprentice Scheme, which ensured a steady stream of technical staff for aircraft maintenance duties. As the decade closed, war clouds gathered over Europe and the Air Corps had seen a modest increase in its personnel and in the quantity and quality of its equipment. The De Havilland Dragon was the first twin-engine type to enter service, with the Avro Anson becoming the first monoplane aircraft in service that had a retractable undercarriage. In the late 1940s the Hawker Hurricanes in service had been replaced by Supermarine Spitfires, with the Spitfire T.9 serving between 1951 and 1961 as an advanced trainer. The 1950s saw introduction of the DHC Chipmunk and Percival Provost, while four DH Doves replaced the elderly Ansons with the General Purpose Flight. By 1956, concrete runways and taxiways had been installed in time for Ireland to enter the jet age on 30th July when three D.H. Vampire jet trainers arrived, and flew with the Fighter Squadron until replaced by the Fouga Magisters in 1975.
