Gerry Humphreys and Eddie Goggins are no strangers to Airshows. Both pilots have performed popular and exciting solo flying displays for many years. In 2013 they teamed up to create the first ever Irish civilian aerobatic formation team. They are flying the incredibly versatile Vans RV7 homebuilt aircraft.
The Display
The AerDynamics are Irelands first civilian formation aerobatics display team.
Eddie and Gerry became friends years ago as they frequently performed at the same airshows around the country. Their mutual respect and professional approach to their flying encouraged them to create the AerDynamics formation team. Many hours of training and practice flights have resulted in an impressive show that includes manoeuvres such as:
The Shamrock Split
The Crossover Loop
Synchronised Hammerheads
The Avalanche
Opposition Rolls
The Love Heart
The Aircraft
The Van’s RV-7 and RV-7A are two-seat, single-engine, low-wing home-built airplanes sold in kit form by Van’s Aircraft.
The RV-7 is the tail-wheel equipped version, while the RV-7A features a nosewheel. The RV-7 is the replacement for the RV-6 and is externally similar to the earlier model, with longer wings, larger fuel tanks and a larger rudder to improve spin recovery characteristics.
