When considering to do a video for St. Patrick's Day, the first challenge for me is, to find material connecting Aviation and Ireland. I could have used some unreleased material from my 2019 planespotting session at Dublin airport (DUB/EIDW) or shots of Ryanair's seemingly omnipresent Boeing 737s. But over the last few years, more and more aircraft with registrations starting with EI, which is Ireland's national aircraft registration prefix, have appeared at my local airport Leipzig/Halle (LEJ/EDDP) and the company behind most of them is ASL Airlines Ireland (AG/ABR), a subsidiary of ASL Aviation Holdings, who are British owned, but headquartered at Dublin.

So here it is, a video combining all shots of ASL Airlines Ireland aircraft I could find on my hard drives. They might not display a harp or a shamrock and not one of them is even green and yet they are certainly Irish enough to wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day with! ☘
