Single achievement

New Grange (VIP Charter)

This is a virtual airline achievement created by FireFly Air.

A couple of VIP clients have contacted the office they want to be picked up at Donegal airport and flown to New Grange. They want to overfly the site and then we you are to land at Dowth Hall grass airstrip which is very near-by the complex.

As well as over flying the site they mention they would be very displeased if it is a rough landing so you are required to touch down at no more than 150fpm

Newgrange is a prehistoric monument in County Meath in Ireland, located on a rise overlooking the River Boyne, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of Drogheda. It is an exceptionally grand passage tomb built during the Neolithic Period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. It is aligned on the winter solstice sunrise. Newgrange is the main monument in the Brú na Bóinne complex, a World Heritage Site that also includes the passage tombs of Knowth and Dowth, as well as other henges, burial mounds and standing stones.

On the Winter Solstice each year at dawn, sunlight fills the passage through the window at the start of he passage. There is a Lottery each year to get place in the passage to withness this unique event.
