Thirteen distinct aircraft were present in the sky over County Wicklow, as elite pilots showcased their aerobatic abilities.

According to Sé Pardy, the Flight Display Director, organising this event takes a full year, but the effort is worthwhile since it raises awareness of Bray.

When the parachutists from the Air Corps Black Knights Parachute Display Team touched down on the beach, the audience went wild.

The General Officer in Command of the Irish Air Corps, Brigadier General Rory O'Connor, stated that the day was a fantastic chance to showcase the values of the Irish Defence Forces.A recruitment exhibit showcasing several grades within the military displayed a portion of the work done by Óglaigh na hÉireann.

The Aer Lingus Airbus A320neo offered something more contemporary, while the lineup featured historical aircraft such as the famous Lancaster, Spitfire, and Hurricane jets flying in formation during the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

While the Defence Forces have an interactive exhibit on display allowing the people to observe what the Reserve Defence forces perform, the LÉ James Joyce is anchored off the shore to give assistance.

One of the largest free events in the nation, the Bray Air Display is estimated by its organisers to have a €3.5 million economic impact on the area.
