Phnom Penh/Pochentong (VDPP/PNH) - Air and Tech Show 13dec24

[EvD]

Phnom Penh/Pochentong
Air Tech Show 2024

This was the fourth instalment of this small show aimed at Cambodia's youth. Objective is to inspire them to take up a career in technology. So, many school classes present.

Online registration through the show's facebook channel was required and was easy and available in English. Opening times of the venue were 0830-1630 but I was admitted entrance at 8 a.m. when I arrived, probably because I am a foreigner.

The entrance road starts on the NW corner of the airport; my tuktuk was allowed through and took me to the inner gate, about halfway on the east side, opposite the civil ramp.

Between brackets: those (parts) were not read off. This is Fridaymorning only.

Eleven were closely parked, with a single and dual behind it. Unfortunately, these where off limits, crammed and faded. Upon arrival these were actually easier to see than from the showground itself!

A very nice log Erwin! Quality over quantity, but great!
Quick check: you give serial MT-302 for both an L-39 and MA60, is that correct?

[EvD]

Indeed a nice assortment Patrick!
And yes, both were marked as such, they even ended up together in my list, but no typo no.
Cheers

You will see that XU-913 is a Magnus Fusion.
