The Rush Harbour Festival took place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, and as part of this event an air display was held on the Saturday of the festival. Although the Rush air display is a smaller affair than the Bray Air Display that was held the previous weekend, it attracted some impressive acts including the Irish Historic Flight with three Chipmunks, Andrew Fenton in a Christen Eagle, Robbie Redmond with a Boeing Stearman biplane, and the Garda Air Support Unit (GASU) with one of their Eurocopter EC135 along with UK based acts Team Raven flying Vans RV-8s and Richard Goodwin in his Anana Muscle Biplane, a much modified Pitts Special.
