Aer Lingus Commuter operated ten Short 360-100/-200 Series aircraft between 1984 and around 1992. It looks like I was lucky to catch EI-BVM during it's last month with Aer Lingus Commuter, as the airline did retire this particular airframe by the end of August 1991. Sold to BAC Leasing as G-TBAC in October 1992. The 1986 built airframe was then registered in the US as N419SA, before being converted to a C-23B+ Sherpa in September 1995, with new msn SH3402 and US FY 93-1318 assigned for it's service with the US Army (till 2013). Since April 2021, the aircraft is registered in Canada as C-GSHP.

Sligo is one of four airports in Ireland to have an S-92 based, the others being Dublin, Shannon & Waterford.

The Irish Air Corps used the S-61N only between May 2003 and October 2004.

The fuselage of EuroCeltic Airways F27 is now used for training by the Airport Fire Service. The aircraft was damaged beyond economic repair in November 2002 when it overran the runway while landing in stormy conditions and the front fuselage ended up in the sea (thankfully without injuries to passengers or crew). The incident ultimately led to the airline's demise and it had ceased operations by January 2003.
