The Silver Swallows is the name of the Irish Air Corps aerobatic team. Active from 1986 to 1998, it was decommissioned in 2022. The team was originally equipped with four Fouga CM170 Magister jet trainers, and came from the Irish Air Corps Light Strike Squadron based at Casement airfield, Baldonnel near Dublin . It now uses the Pilatus PC-9M . The name Silver Swallows is derived from the color of the aircraft and the V-shaped tail of the Magister aircraft the team flew. Throughout its history, the team has operated on a part-time basis, the team's display duties being secondary to the main roles of the light strike squadron.
