Two days in the Czech Republic

Post by DJdeRidder »

Last month I went to the Czech Republic for a couple of days, with visits to the Air Training Centre at Pardubice and the Mi-24 squadron at Namest nad Oslavou.

The weather was not on our side most of the time, but here's a selection of some of my shots:

First head-on Hind is my pick of a superb set. Love the Zlin, but then I suppose I would! :grin:

Nice work DJ, I particularly like the shots of the Mi-2s, such an ugly machine...
