IRISH AIR CORPS RANKS

[@MilitaryStuffChannel]

What is the best rank in the Irish Air Corps?

[@lancersharpe]

The Irish Air Corps have 26 aircraft, none of them combat. They need not have a rank above Colonel for such a small outfit. Ireland relies on NATO for their defence in reality even though they are neutral.

Its shameful how poorly equipped the Air Corps are equipped today. Back in the 50s we had modern for their time jet fighter aircraft but today we are only equipped with props and helicopters. its an embarrassment that we rely on the RAF to protect our airspace. The personnel in the air corps are absolute professionals and should be properly equipped instead of just being trained to work for commercial airlines when they retire from the military.

Wow, I never knew Ireland had fighter aircraft of any type in its history. I know there were talks to buy JAS 39 Gripens, which would be a good choice I think.

We free load off the RAF to defend our shores and air space because our aircraft are sub standard... Not even quick enough to catch a Boeing 737....Rank =0..

No bother mate. You're entirely welcome. I met your mob at RIAT one year and aquired your badge. Trading badges is a thing at RIAT. Good bunch of blokes.

Aww, if you'd held off on this one for a few months, you'd have been able to add "General" to the list of ranks when Sean Clancy took up the post of Chairman of the EU military commission.
