Many thanks for this great log. Alca 6029 is sold to Draken International and now flying as N269EM. Are you sure about the serial or is this a possible misread or typo?? I see I made two mistakes at once :roll: The Alca that was towed in the morning and did some engine testing was actually 6067! In...
So today indeed the aircraft came back to Caslav! We arrived at the fence around 8:30. Gripen 9239 was tested before a maintanance hangar and Alca 6029 was towed and did some engine testing at the other end of the base. Between 11:00 and 12:30 6 Gripens (9234, 9238, 9819, 9242, 9235, 9237) and 6 Alc...
Hi,
Thank you for reply. I will try to pay a visit this Monday.
As I read on the website of the base itself, 12 aircraft were TDY to Pardubice. Transport back to Caslav of personnel and equipment is planned this Monday... I will see!
All the best,
Rob
Thanks for the log! As I saw in a NOTAM, Caslav will open next monday after two weeks of closure. I'm in the neighbourhood: I might give it a try.
Based on earlier photos and logs I know where to go: but where to park the car?
All the best,
Rob
Some additional info: We stayed at Agriturismo Il Querciolo with actual sight on the South side of the base. (recommended: includes airco, swimming pool and bikes!) 99% of the time take-off takes place from North to South ('to the sea'). Subsequently, landings 99% of the time take place from South t...

The Ala14 Eurofighters arrived on Wednesday morning July 23rd. That afternoon they flew a local mission (that's when I discovered them: unfortunately they landed from the North, so I could only catch them take off South where I was - landing Always took place from the South for nearly two weeks, exc...
Last year I was lucky enough to catch 4 different Mig-21's in two days time at the end of August. Now I'm on holidays near Pula again untill 11 August. As I was searching the forums for info I saw that the last years you had to be lucky to see them , but I also saw that the Migs were there at the en...
Hi,
so that leaves us with 2 weeks 'holidays' for the Croatian Airforce... as the Migs were returning to Pula: where did they came from? Zagreb?

Spending my holidays in Croatia wasn't a bad idea: booking a holiday home (with a swimming pool of course...) only 2 km away from Pula airfield was initially a family affair (I didn't even realise that Pula also has a MIL site...). But (after I found out there actually was a MIL site) I hoped for a ...
