A US Air Force jet flew over a small Longford town on Monday so that its Irish-born pilot could catch a glimpse of his hometown.Â
The $244 million C-17 Globemaster III also flew over the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare while en route to the Irish Air Corps base in Baldonnel, County Dublin.Â
The C-17 aircraft departed from Washington State before stopping at the Air National Guard base in Bangor, Maine. It touched down at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel for technical reasons while en route to the United Kingdom as part of a crew training mission.Â

WELL done the residents of Kenmure Street, Pollokshields, for coming out in numbers to resist the UK Border Force raid on two asylum seekers on, of all days, Eid al-Fitr, the day of celebration to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan ( Police release detained men after hundreds block immigration van , The Herald, May 14). Well done, too, to Police Scotland for having the decency and common sense to defuse the situation by releasing the men. The raid, and in particular its timing, shows that this Tory UK Government is as intent as ever on playing the tough guy against those who have fled intolerable situations in their home countries and asked for our compassion. Boris Johnson and Priti Patel act not in my name; obviously not in the names of the residents of Kenmure Street; and, I hope, not in Scotland’s name.
