#PlaneSailing ! I've not seen this on Twitter in years! Funnily enough I was passing through Enniscrone last August and stopped by the field when I saw the plane! It's a great story for anyone unfamiliar - listen back to the TodayFM podcasts. Utterly hilarious!@AntonSavageShowpic.twitter.com/pWAddxyu76
