BLATANT USE OF SHANNON AIRPORT by the NAVY

Can Westair please answer a few questions.

Haven't got the aricraft details yet, if anyone else saw them, please post it here.

Last December, at the Westair hangar, there was a clearly marked C-20g jet with the words US Navy
on the side. that jet belonged to the 48th Fleet Logistics Squadron.
Last week, two medium sized personnel transporters also marked US Navy turned up at the Westair hangar.

Is this part of bush's 'War on terrorism' or does an aeronautics company in the west of Ireland somehow have a sweet deal to refit and maintain a bunch of US Naval jets?

Keep your eyes open
