|---|
Kecskemét airshow celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Air Force probably was the most eventful aviation event in Europe this year.
|
Though retired from Hungarian service already in 2000 with six aircraft shown the MiG-21 was one of the most numerous types at the show.
Among five (no longer operational) Hungarian aircraft were a MiG-21bis, ...
|
|
... a MiG-21MF in the colours of the communist era and ...
|
 |
... a MiG-21UM, all shown in perfect condition as well as ...
|
|
... a dismantled MiG-21bis, loaded onto a trailer and ...
|
|
... the well-known 1904 (also a MiG-21bis) in Camel colours of 1991.
|
|
Only operational MiG-21 in static display was this LanceR C from Romania, side by side ...
|
|
... with a German Eurofighter and other aircraft.
|
|
Flying display traditionally was opened by a Mi-8 with Hungarian flag, followed by ...
|
|
... different formations, for example An-26 with MiG-29 and ...
|
|
... a group of JAS-39 Gripen.
|
|
While Hungarian MiG-29 and Gripen showed their solo displays, ...
|
|
... MiG-21 LanceR C 6305 from Baza 86 Aeriana in Feteşti taxied to take-off.
|
|
... who gave the spectators a great display.
|
|
Beside this lots of stunning displays were shown by several display teams - like Turkish Stars.
|
|
(Almost) all combat aircraft flying today in Europe were part of the flying display, like this Finnish F-18, ...
|
|
... which like other fighters fired a lot of flares, ...
|
|
... a French Mirage 2000, ...
|
|
... a Spanish Eurofighter, ...
|
|
... the Orao in special colours already known from Batajnica and ...
|
|
... a British Harrier.
|
|
Like in the previous years departure was a highlight, as aircraft of the static display could be seen in the air too,
among them this Greek A-7 Corsair and ...
|
|
... the Polish Su-22UM3K.
|
|
Pilot Gheorghe GICA Stancu like before in Erfurt took the chance ...
|
|
... to say goodbye with a roll, ...
|
|
... while his colleague from Câmpia Turzii departed without any show.
