Hi !
I was also in Ostrava this year and wanted to share my point of view with you
It was my first time here and probably not the last one, even if whe faced some difficulties... many in fact
First of all, we arrived around the airfield on saturday morning from Krakow. On my GPS, it was 08h10lt and 8km remaining when we started to get stuck in the trafic jam. As flying displays started, I was grumbling in the car and we finally decided to leave the car in a field, near the road as many others did. It was already 10h00lt and still more than 2.5 km to make by foot to go to the static display entrance... it was a big dissapointment for me but we then easily understood why it was so hard to go forward with the car. Only one small access ( with one line) to the parking when you come from the west/south...
So with my friend we decided to stay on the parking field (the official one this time) to see the first displays and the flypast. This location was quite good until 1200lt approximately. We were much closer than inside the static display and finally, we decided to stay a little bit more, despite the backlit conditions to go to the static display at around 1500lt.
At the end of the day, we had to walk 2.5km back to the car.
On sunday, we decided to go really early, we left the hotel (which was 20 min away from the airport in normal conditions) at around 0710lt (gate opening time was at 0830) and we arrived at... 0840lt... most of the tie was again lost in the "finnish line" to the parking...
This time we parked the car inside the official parking, we stood there until 1200lt then decided to go near to the terminal building, just under the demo axe on the eastern part of the airfield.
This was really good, we had aircrafts turning right above our head and it allowed me to take very nice pictures, almost no crop is needed on 90% of the pics with my 100-400L. Sun was behind us until the end. Except some trees, this place was almost perfect, with the airport building 200m away from us to go to the toilet/buy something to drink. The only thing is that you can't see any take off/landing from there and that some aircrafts/helicopters stay more on the other side of the field, where the public is. The polish F16 did all the flares on the other side of the runway for instance.
Regarding the display programme, as everybody, I was dissapointed when looking the USA participation, same thing with the Slovak Mig 29 but finally they where here and did almost a demo. I was also really surprised by the YAK40 absence in the flypast/static display at least.
So I will probably go there again next year but I will clearly go early and we will stay there for departures also as the static display was really interresting, and made me eager to see more of this aircraft in flight.
