Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Serbian Air Force Day

Post by Arnold ten Pas »

Hi,

Last saturday the Serbian AF celebtrated their annual Air Force Day. Batajnica AB, Ladjevci AB and Nis were all open to the public. We chose to go to Batajnica. There was a small static show and a limited flying programme. Nevertheless, a visit well worth. A full report will be published shortly, a small impresision on forehand:

Civil registered Galeb:

This J22 Orao received special c/s just before the Open Day. It will be present at Kecskemet Air Show and Archangel later this year:

Highlight (for me) was the MiG-29. After years of storage the Serbian AF recently received their fourth refurbished MiG-29:

Mi-8:

The MiG-21s in Serbian service are only used for QRA duties now the MiG-29s have been (re)delivered.

Some more MiG-21s:
