On October 20, 2006 the Croatian Air Force (Hrvatsko ratno zrakoplovstvo - HRZ) held an open day at Zadar-Zemunik air
base. Of each aircraft type in service one was on display.
The MiG-21UMD in Croatian national colours was part of the display ...
... while this MiG-21 stood aside.
Look over the flightline.
Both Bell 206 ...
... and UTVA-75 are used to train pilots.
The HRZ are tasked with fire fighting and therefore operate purpose built aircraft types Air Tractor AT-802F
and ...
... Canadair CL-415.
Transport fleet was represented by an An-32 and ...
... a Mi-8.
The only flying aircraft that day was this PC-9.
The majority of Croatian PC-9s is based at Zadar where a large hangar can accommodate all aircraft.
The Jastrebs in open storage beside the airfield were captured from the Krajina Serbs during the operations in
1995.
Both MiG-21 were to fly to Pula at the end of the event but remained in Zadar due to the bad weather.
