[[Cork Racecourse|Mallow Racecourse]], now known as Cork Racecourse, became an emergency airfield on 18 April 1983, when a Mexican [[Gulfstream II]] business jet piloted by Captain Rubén Ocaña made a precautionary landing. A temporary [[tarmacadam]] runway of 910&nbsp;m (3,000&nbsp;ft) in length which was paid for by the plane's insurers was laid to enable the aircraft to leave five weeks later. In the meantime, Captain Ocaña became a local celebrity. On 23 May 1983 just before the plane departed, the captain said his farewell to the people of Ireland in the Irish language.<ref name=IFTN>{{cite web|last=Hegarty|first=Mandy|title=Interview: 'The Runway' Writer/Director Ian Power on His Debut Feature Film|url=http://iftn.ie/news/featureinterviews/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4283942&tpl=archnews|publisher=[[Irish Film and Television Network]]|access-date=28 November 2013|archive-date=7 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507041302/http://iftn.ie/news/featureinterviews/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4283942&tpl=archnews|url-status=live}}</ref> The runway was subsequently used for parking during race meets and for learner driving. Light aircraft have occasionally landed at the racecourse on the grass area. The F3A World Model Aircraft Aerobatic Championship was held there in 2001. The 1983 incident formed the basis of the 2010 film ''{{va|The Runway}}''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.monstersandcritics.com/movies/reviews/article_1701333.php/The-Runway-?-Movie-Review|title=The Runway – Movie Review|last=Wilkinson|first=Ron|date=25 July 2012|publisher=Monsters and Critics|access-date=4 August 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029191447/http://www.monstersandcritics.com/movies/reviews/article_1701333.php/The-Runway-?-Movie-Review|archive-date=29 October 2013}}</ref>
