Never heard of a PC-6 display before and that wouldn’t be very exciting either.

I guess you’ve never seen Clay Lacy’s excellent PC-6 display.

Unfortunately not. I do like the porter but at a venue like RIAT… meh

I see Austria is 'ongoing' - more likely to come in a Zeltweg year when they have displays worked up. Shame the RAF don't support Zeltweg really - would help the case with a bit of tit for tat swapping I'm sure. The QRA Pair of Typhoons is awesome but the Austrians have other displays - for example...

…yet to date I have not taken and will never photograph an F-35.

Guess you can lay down the camera and have a relaxed time at future airshows then.

I can comprehend some of your personal views though, apart from front or topside angles the F-35 is not very aesthetically pleasing imho.

Vet different, very nice! Gotta love those Swedish aircraft.

Great shots! Processing is not over the top in my opinion, well done!

Great shots, love the draken with this color scheme - very well captured !

Some more from this fantastic weekend :-) Cheers, Philip https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53185648871_4a85eb1257_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53185852220_7bcd29538b_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53185713454_1a418cb339_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53186021858_...

Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated :-) @Mic: Pat Suisse shots are from opposite the crowd line across the river from the public walking path in the fields. F-18 had a technical issue mid flight on the second day so decided to do a few passes only instead of full display (source Hornet ...

Hey Mic, mind blowing shots - awesome! I saw you guys up there and wondered how the view was … now I know. Hiking really paid off for you! Thanks for sharing

Would love to see that Austrian demo again or any similar demo from other nations which act out a high intensity qra with multiple aircraft Good chances for Austrian participation I’d assume as it is an Airpower year, they are always more active on the circuit abroad when a Zeltweg show takes place...

Hey everyone, four years have passed since the last edition of this airshow and just like in 2019 it did not disappoint. While the show ground and the event itself is rather small compared to shows like RIAT or Zeltweg it manages to attract some of the well known display acts of the European airshow...

Yep was there too, decided to attend regardless of participants after having been there 2019 for the first time (just a 2,5h drive so a no-brainer for me). Quite a place for an airshow, hard to imagine fast jets being thrown around there when you see that narrow valley for the first time. And the di...

Guess no one’s gonna miss you at future RIATs, looks like your good-bye is a win-win.
Hope you have a nice Sunday evening after the absolutely horrible experiences you had to face.

You'd expect a ton of TUI 737s or EasyJet A320s at Innsbruck at this time of the year but definitely not todays special visitor. Unfortunately turned up 10 mins too early (despite delay) to catch some sunlight on approach but the departure made up for that so I won't complain. Quite a sight and soun...

Thanks everyone yeah got lucky with the gripen, was expecting the dump n burn but seeing it for the first time was surprised how quick it is over.

Hey everybody, The 22 event marked the 10th anniversary of "Airpower" held in Zeltweg, Austria. As always the venue was organized very well and managed to attract quite a few interesting aircraft. Obviously the Croatian MiG-21 was the star item of the flying display in terms of rareness, a...

Superb shots thank you for sharing !! I really like the helicopter pics especially. Agree on most things you mentioned. Being a free show is on the cons side for me, not because I like to spend money but because the party people not really interested in aviation would not appear if there was an entr...

B-52 flypast announced on Facebook on their way from Aviano to Ramstein … no info on which day so far.

Edit: supposed to happen on Friday

Limited info on the Spotters-pack so far. Who can enlighten me? - What locations are good? - Is it possible to move around during the day? If so how easy is it? - How is the sun? - How is the backdrop from the different locations? - Are some good for helicopters but bad for jets and voce versa? Is ...

Looks much better now for the show days. Most reliable weather service for the area is this one: https://www.zamg.ac.at/cms/de/wetter/wetter-oesterreich/steiermark Arrival/Rehearsal schedule: https://ticker.airpower.gv.at/?fbclid=IwAR3HV9xwbmLaWzKA3MgrwalXoy6Xygqtf0xjS8o7bY_38ymOwHsgtxwE0p0 Regardin...

Display programme seems to be incomplete, definitely missing is the Austrian helicopter part (Blackhawk, Bell 212, Kiowa) - these are listed as flying in the participants list and I expect the usual “airfield attack/evacuation” demo. Also the Italian and German EFs seem to be static both, so only Au...

I‘ll try to answer some questions: - I would not expect too many updates from now on in the flying, it does look pretty full already with 8 fast jets, some teams and all the Austrian/Red Bull stuff plus a few warbirds. I heard that Patrulla Águila is due to come but since I can’t find their 22 sched...

@Spotty_Jag - SU-22, Croatian MIG-21, MI-17 from Serbia, Flying draken, all of the Austrian bulls collection flying (p-38 and cobra included!) a flying ME-262, what a line-up, if you think RIAT was better because of an E-4B (which was great) then please... and lets not forget this event is free rat...

This line-up is so much better than what was at RIAT this year. I just booked flight tickets for 165 both ways, now looking for a place to stay

To be fair that’s not true in terms of static display…. and the Croatian MiG does not have a long way. I believe it when it’s on approach though.

Croatian MIG-21 in the list as flying now, Polish SU-22 static. MiG-15 listed as flying now as well. German EF is static, Italian EF flying. Don’t know about the Polish F-16… Thursday access in the east for approaches is easy but be aware that the road „Flatschach“ is closed off right under the flig...
