Re: Zeltweg AirPower 2013

When did you see the 5 F-16 displays, because I missed that one? Maybe a bit of an exaggeration but in 2011 there were 4 if I remember correctly. It may be a good idea to stop comparing at this point, there are pros and cons for all events. Zeltweg for example will always have a rather small static...

Re: Zeltweg AirPower 2013

Yeah, I have to agree with Eizo here. Zeltweg has in recent years given RIAT (even a good RIAT) a run for its money, but this year looks slightly disappointing. Huh? The list looks almost identical to 2011 so far and that year was far from disappointing....amazing how quickly people get spoilt. Som...

Re: Zeltweg AirPower 2013

Not the latest news but since there are still no participants on the website:

+ Turkish Stars
+ RNLAF F-16

The OV-10 Bronco, a Fouga Magister (EADS?) and Spitfire should also be there according to a local Newspaper.

Re: Kecskemét Airshow, Hungary - 2013

Really want to be at this show. Does anyone know a great deal about getting there from the UK? Quick bit of digging, looks like you can get flights for under £200 return, and there's a train that runs hourly from Budapest for about a fiver, brilliant. Almost definitely going to be going to this, co...

Re: RIAT 2013

Out of interest, how are Iskry? It'd be nice to see the TS-11 before it's retired. Some nice photo opportunities with the red and white jets but generally underwhelming display, lacking precision and the maneuvres are nothing special. I remember a seemingly very uncoordinated show in Leeuwarden 200...

Out of interest , have they disbanded Patrouille Suisse yet , or is this to be their last year ? Their last season will be 2016. 2014 will mark the 40th anniversary of the team! Off Topic but: This is no longer true information. The Swiss defence minister announced some weeks ago that the Patrouill...
