[PIK Flyer]

... and now for something completely different: did anyone get the civil registrations of the two Blanik gliders and the Extra that towed them, and the civil (Czech?) demoteam that flew early in the afternoon?

From photos on Friday, I have D-EUNA as the tug and OE-5733 as one of the gliders. (Other not readable on my photos). (Edit: Found a better photo which shows OE-0758 as the other one.)

My photos of the Flying Bulls team are too distant but at Pardubice a couple of weeks ago, they were OK-XRA/B/C/D if that helps.

A question of my own - One of the Saudi Eurofighters was on static, was the other visible, if so, where?

Anyone who has read the MB-339's ?

Hi everyone,
Please can someone tell me where the sports field was and where you could view it from and also did anyone get the serial of the UH-60 that took off at about 08.00 and departed to the East.

Many Thanks

As you left the base and turned left towards the car parking, the first few helicopters could be viewed through the fence after a few hundred metres. The sports field could be viewed by continuing on foot, then turning first left towards the runway end. The sports field was against the fence on the left before the runway end. I doubt if it could be seen from inside the base.

Overside:
Al.III (6 in a row): 3E-KH, KJ, KL, KC, KE, KG
Al.III: (3 in a row): 3E-KI, KA, +1

At field behind maingate, visible from main road:
Al.III: 3E-KR, KS, KU
AB.212: 5D-HF

At field eastside of airfield, near fence:
Al.III: 3E-KL, KP, LC

Alouettes on Friday. My friend read 5 of the line of 6 while they displayed & saw 3E-KI instead of KL. Is KL confirmed, please, perhaps by photo?

During the Airpower demo 3 Alouettes flew, 3E-KF, KA & KT. I didn't note which locations they flew from.

The 3 you quote "At field eastside of airfield, near fence:" are certainly correct.

On friday 3E-KF and 3E-KT were taking part in the AP Demo which resulted in 20 helo's which were all parked on the opposite side from the runway.

Did somebody on friday read of the 2 Alouette 3's which landed on the crashside. One of them was 3E-KP the other one has some drivers under his body.
... a good show it was!

The 3rd Alouette in the demo on Friday was 3E-KA.

The other Alouette that went to the crash site was 3E-LC.

PC-7 : 3H-FN 3H-FG + 3 in hangar (behind flightline Saudi Hawks)

On which day did you see 3H-FG, please?

Thanks

I have seen it on both days, it was parked in the static display and wore the special color scheme...

kind regards,

Alouette 3 3E-KT was easily recognisable; it was unique because it had a FLIR/TV-pod under the nose; it was hovering above the action during the Air Power demo, acting as command-ship. It flew from the opposite side (as did all other participants in the demo, with the exception of the C-130's of course).

Hi All,

A question, out of curiousity, on saturday I saw a swiss PC-7 (A-907). This one had it's swiss (old) colours, but had a strange reg.no.; 7T-FMA. Can someone tell me why and or is it sold to Algeria? It stood near the new hangars, where the red bulls stood and the Me262 etc.

Thanks in advance, Brian.

7T- = San Marino civil registration

Actually, 7T- IS Algeria... HOWEVER, the PC.7 was registered T7-FMA, and T7- is indeed San Marino...

Noted in the rear of the right hand side of Hangar II (the PC-7s) on the Friday was a Safir. Any offers for the identity? Likely one of 3F-SP or 3F-SR.

Cheers,

Mike
