Sliac, Slovakia - Home of the Mig.29

Post by trend71uk »

Hi all,
As I seem to spend most of my spare time scanning old negatives , thought I'd break the cycle and try and catch up with a few of last years shows.
August bank holiday took me to Poland for 3 days plus a day in Slovakia , taking in Sliac and Radom airshows plus numerous museums.
Sorry about the amount of pics , but you can never have too many Mig.29s........................

The Slovak's certainly know how to paint their aircraft. Some superb camo schemes, especially the helicopters. Great to see the Tu-154 as well. Fantastic set. :clap:

Despite some of the aircraft's ages the Slovakians sure keep them looking in pristine condition.

Liking the new scheme on the Mi-24's and yes you can never get enough Mig's :up:

Very nice set, but you should never apologize for posting pictures of MiG-29s! ;)

Almost looks like none of the Slovak Fulcrums have the same paint scheme...

Beautiful aircraft in a beautiful setting,the countryside around Bohemia is Europes best kept secret.
Thanks for sharing.
