Colin Keane rode a winner for his father after flying from Roscommon to Fairyhouse on Thursday.
The champion jockey flew out of Roscommon, taking off on a section of the racecourse in a bright yellow plane, after riding a double for trainer Ger Lyons.
And some two hours later he was back in the saddle to partner another of Lyons' runners at Fairyhouse, 150km away.

Keane finished third on One For Mum (4/1) for the Meath trainer in a six-furlong handicap before partnering Catherine Chroi (3/1 f) to finish fourth for handler Claire O'Connell in Division 1 of the 47-65, 4yo+ handicap over the same distance.
But the trip proved to be worth it as Secret Road (7/2) bolted up by seven lengths under Keane to win Division 2 of the handicap half an hour later for the jockey's father Gerald.
Earlier in the day, the three-time champion rider partnered Spanish Flame (8/13 f) to victory in the opening race at Roscommon, a seven-furlong maiden, before doubling up with Star Kissed (9/4) in the 1m3½f Castlerea Handicap.
Keane remains fourth in the jockeys championship after the three wins behind joint leaders Ryan Moore and Shane Foley, with Billy Lee two victories off them and Keane one success further back.
