Re: Bored already with RIAT 2013? No way, you must look insi

Awesome indeed, MIG and Rafale 09 are unbelievable! :smile:

The only shot I don't like is the Connie, sky looks a bit overdone see the halo around the wing....

Re: Display lines and overshoots...

No flares no touch and goes and increased distance does harm to most jet displays especially both F-16 routines. RIAT definitely did not get more attractive during recent years....whoever fault it is... :sad:

Re: Zeltweg AirPower 2013

This has to do with the Airpower itself and its position in Austria. If they would announce less visitors than 2011, they would have had to argue why this is the case. And also, 280.000 as well as 300.000 this year is a fake number. It is an advertising issue, not basing on real facts. I agree, the...

Impressions from Zeltweg Airbase - AIRPOWER

Hey folks, Had a great weekend in Styria with lots of action and sound despite a few very disappointing cancellations from the flying display. Airpower team did their best to put on a fantastic show with a nice setting in between the hills. Weather played ball as well, some sun and increasing clouds...

Re: AIRPOWER 2013 Zeltweg Austria 28th & 29th of June

Great shots Peter and Gyula, like that Falcon in front of the Tower - so thats the view you get from over there, was wondering how that spot is like. :smile:

Helis and number 04 are superb as well I agree but it shows your sensor is in the need of a cleaning session!

Don't care about the AWACS but the Hornet canceling is very bad news. On the official facebook site they stated that the Swiss AF's display pilot is not available at the moment. Looks like many shows face cancellations these days when I look at Kecskemet and Wittmund threads.... Any news about the r...

Re: How will you be taking in the show this year?

If I go to RIAT this year which is not granted yet but quite likely I will do it the same way I used to in the past. This means I have to fly in from MUC or some other airport to STN on Friday, rent a car and, while constantly remembering to drive on the left side of the road ( ), get to a hotel in ...

Re: Luchtmachtdagen Volkel 2013

Great show, good organisation and weather was ok too, well worth the 8h drive. Loved Ramex Delta, that special colored Phantom and the Greeks in the static made me smile as well. Also enjoyed the rain display of Solo Türk! Air Power Demo was good too but not as good as Leeuwarden 2008, I expected an...

Yeah the loss of the MiG is bad but I also did not see it at Volkel so I expected it would not be at Zeltweg also... Still going to...

Re: Zeltweg AirPower 2013

Quite a nice line up this year with the Fitters being the highlight (so far :smile: ).

Unfortunately the BD-5 must be taken off the list as the aircraft crashed shortly killing the pilot. :sad:

Anyone know if it's likely there will be a Super Hornet display at RIAT this year? I think the Swiss are sending one to Yeovilton or Waddington? I don't know which countries have an F18 demo??
