A Irish Air Corps BAe 125 (registration 236) was flying to the UK for scheduled maintenance when it struck a flock of birds during the takeoff roll at Baldonnel-Casement. The takeoff was abandoned, and the aircraft overran the runway after braking could not stop it in time. All three crew escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
