According to my information the airshow has been cancelled? Team Iskry already rejected participation and also the minister of defence has still not confirmed it(!). So I fear it will not take place...

Zagreb MoD has not confirmed it yet, but is still evaluating the possibility to organize it.

E-mail from Croatia:

It seems we all thought too early,due to lack of new updates regarding MoD confirmation of military airshow 100 years over Croatia and also due to info about civilian organization of same manifestation on same day at Lucko airfield, that military show wont be made.. But according to latest info, MoD finally agree with military part of celebration, so there should be both part of 100years celebration airshow - Pleso(military) and Lucko(small civilian).

Both airshows now have their website online, although they still have to be filled a bit:

Is there any more information regarding this airshow, and one more question has anyone been to any Croatian airshow before, how are they normally set?

[Spike]

Just got an answer yesterday from the Wings of Storm... the Air Show will not take place!

Just got an answer yesterday from the Wings of Storm... the Air Show will not take place!

which is confirmed by an e-mail I received:

I am sorry, but according to latest yesterday info military airshow organization is definitely officially canceled due to financial situation in country as one among other recession cut downs.
Civilian airshow should be made as planned.

Thanks very much Andy and Jerry. We did see the AB.206 at Zadar thanks for that Andy and all the other gap fillers you emailed me earlier. We tried several attempts to gain access to the Police hanger. We at last suceeded with just a quick peek at the contents and Andy F doing the remembering. If that was left to me!!! No chance.
Cheers,

Tim.
