The Royal Jordanian Falcons were formed in 1976 for the promotion of Jordan, serving as the country's "roving ambassadors."

The Falcons are made up of of five Extra-330 LX aerobatic aircraft.

Speaking afterwards, Kieran said he was in awe of the pilot's skills.

"There was times I looked out and you could jump, I would say, from one wing to another - we were that close to each other," he said.

"When we did a loop de loop, full upside down over Bray Head, it was absolutely incredible.

"None of us knew it was about to happen so it caught us all by surprise.

"That is just a small taster of what these guys get up to," he added.
