Kecskemét International Air Show, 16/17 August 2008

[Marco]

what is the English translation for 'bemutató'?

If I do understand correct Fin AF F-18 will perform demo, wondering how good they are, will become their first demo I have ever seen....

However how about using a scanner in Hungary? I am a bit of a radio man and want to follow the airshow on a the scanner as well.....

[Bart]

"Bemutató" means "show"in English.
The demo of the Finish Hornet can be copared to all Hornet demo's, they're very good.
And fanally scanners........I've seen a lot of spotters in Hungary using a scanner outside the base, but I really don't know if it's allowed or not.
I hope this helps a little.
Have a nice time at Kecskemét, I know I'll have.

Screens,
On friday you are able to stand ouside the AB in the fields (just follow the locals). I've been there last year. The arrivals on friday were very nice, but most of the nice types and the transport did arrive on thurday and friday morning. If you have the chance to go both days, I'll suggest to go both.

the tribune is right in front of an apron. Will this be the same apron as from where the planes leave or are they parked somewhere else? It is about the same size as the static area.....

Maybe some aircraft will operate from there, but the two times I was there before (1998 and 2007), most aircraft operated from dispersals on the right and left hand side of the public area. Last year, some of the Red Bull aircraft operated from the grass.

Hi there to all airshow fans. Me and my friend are planning to visit this airshow with a camper.
Can you tell me if there are some special rules about parking the camper and so on.

It looks like great airshow. Does somebody has a detail program of this event, or is it too soon?

Thanks!

I'm afraid that the detailed program is available only in Hungarian. I'll insert it into my following message.
