Ah!, the airport. I vaugely remember going to see Madness and a few other bands arriving there for the festivals in the early eighties. Also some air shows were held from time to time. Did someone post pics here? Speaking as someone now training for the PPL here in Dublin, I think it's a shame that Castlebar has lost such a great resource. For the record, here are the stats..
