Brno - Czech Airshow 8/9 September

Post by Marco »

on 8 and 9 september the Czech airshow will take place. For those who think about going to it, check http://www.skyeurope.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The price without charges is currently 1.5 euro on the leg Amsterdam - Bratislava one way. So for 3 euro's excl. charges you are in Bratislava, from here it is only 1.5hrs driving.

But do check the rental cars!!! We tried to rent a car in Bratislava to go to Hungary (for Kecskemet) and got negative replies from some of the rental companies; we couldn't take the car from Slowak Republic into Hungary. So if you wish to rent a car: CHECK IT!!

Hi

I will be going to CIAF this year for the first time. Does anyone have any hints or tips about where it's good to take pictures from or other things that might be nice to know.

Thanks

Jonas,

Enter the base only for staticphoto's. To take pics of the flyingdisplay it's better to find a spot anywhere along the track outside the base because on base you will have the sun in your face all day long, obviously bad for taking pics.

Lucky me. I will be on vacation in the Brno area when this is taking place :D :D . I do have a question, nevertheless. Will the regular passenger traffic in and out of Brno continue on these days, although it's not much, but maybe interesting?

Scheduled flights

Post by PIK Flyer »

Scheduled flights should go ahead as normal BUT all that's scheduled for the Saturday is 1 x Ryanair 737 and 2 X CSA ATR's. On the Sunday, theres an extra Smartwings flight to Moscow .... and thats it!

It's a case of enjoy the show (I will!) but dont go for the scheduled flights.

Never been at Brno before, so I'm interested to know if it's easy to find this track?

Yes its pretty easy to find but be aware of roadblocks by the Police.
They dont speak English so if your lucky they dont understand you and you can drive passed it. :lol:

@ Key

I think it was 71364. There is a picture of it from departure day here: http://www.airshow.cz/pictures/ciaf07/odlety/an26.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But it is difficult to se the numbers.
Kind regards

Should be 71364. Didn't read it myself, but someone on MSF stated he read the serial from his picture.

Thanks guys. Had difficulties reading it myself, due to eroding paint and reflecting light. But I have enough clues now to conclude this is the one.
