I can confirm that US military aircraft have been granted permission to use the landing facilities at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel. Records of landings at the Aerodrome are held by the Air Corps but statistics for the period in question by year and type of aircraft are not readily available. Information is currently being sourced through the Department of Defence and will be provided to the Deputy as soon as it becomes available.
