Re: Kecskemét 7,8 August 2010

Does anybody of you know when IAF left Kecskemet? I left at 2:30 PM, but I only saw one SUFA taxiing on runway and a 707 tanker (black livery, will post regs on evening) making low pass and flying into the holding pattern northeast of Kecskemet AFB. Which day was that? Monday? They only left on Tue...

Re: Kecskemét 7,8 August 2010

I know a better solution: the organizers should use lower fences in stead of fences of 2 metres high. That was the reason all those photographers took their stairs in the first place! Rob Well, for most parts of the fence, it was only 1.60. So, it was rather easy to take photographs above it. 2.0 m...

Re: Kecskemét 7,8 August 2010

Shame you guys who have ladders and park just behind the fence! Do you ever think that you block other photographers sector and chance to get taxiway photos? One or two meters step back and you don't loose nothing but guys who don't have ladders get little space just behind the fence. Yeah, a lot o...

Re: Kecskemét 7,8 August 2010

Leadfoot, thanks a lot for the clear explanation and your efford for making this sketch. This really helps. Does the orange corridor offer some photo oportunities along the taxitrack? The HuAF Migs and Gripens use this part of the field, right? Not a lot of photo opportunities along the corridor. H...

Re: Kecskemét 7,8 August 2010

Regarding the parking lots and gates: is it correct that gate 1 is along road 44 and gate 3 at the Kafka Margit utca? There´s no such as gate 2? You can see the numbers indicating gates on this map: http://www.repulonap.hu/airshow/rovatok/hu/2010/informaciok/terkep_1.jpg" onclick="window....

Wings of Storm is back on the list. Perhaps it was left out from the issued program by mistake. :)

Will there also be some of rehearsals out of Szolnok for the fly-past? anyone for a date and maybe time? Still unofficial information (however, the base commander stated these on a press conference): there will be no opening flypast this year, nor Hungarian MiG-29 solo display. Instead, there will ...

I'm asking because i didn't seen any ukraine display with su 27 on airshows since 2002 crash(or i just missed it?)
It is easily possible that even the organizers have no idea at all.
