According to some messages on Flugzeugforum there will be an airpower demo by the Austrian air force and Patrouille Suisse is also confirmed.
They are trying to get EF2000's of all 5 user countries in the air.

And of course there is always a possibility of cancellation, nothing is sure nowadays

Wie im Flug ausgebucht
Sieben Monate vor der Flugshow sind Zeltweger Beherbergungsbetriebe ausgebucht. Auch in anderen Gemeinden wird es knapp mit Zimmern.

An Zuschauern mangelte es den Shows nie, wie dieses Bild von 2003 beweist Foto: APA
In rund sieben Monaten geht die Airpower in Zeltweg über die Bühne und schon jetzt freuen sich die heimischen Touristiker über ausgebuchte Beherbergungsbetriebe.

Zimmervermieter gesucht. "In Zeltweg bekommt man für diese beiden Tage kein Zimmer mehr", sagt Gabriele Ammann, Geschäftsführerin des Tourismusverbandes Zeltweg. "Wir suchen bereits private Zimmervermieter, doch bis jetzt hat sich erst eine Dame gemeldet", so Ammann.

Hotels ausgebuchht. Auch das Grand Prix-Hotel in Spielberg ist ausgebucht. "Bei uns übernachtet das Militär", verrät Hotelchef Freddy Wascher. Und in Anton Wilhelmers Landgasthof in Aichdorf hat sich für den 26. und 27. Juni die Crew von Red Bull eingemietet. "Meine Gäste werden drei Wochen hier bleiben", verrät Wilhelmer. Nicht auszuschließen sei, dass Red Bull-Chef Dietrich Mateschitz vorbeischaue.

Früh buchen. Renate Slama, Mitarbeiterin des Tourismusverbandes Judenburg, rät: "Da schon viele Zimmer ausgebucht sind, ist es am besten, wenn man sich so schnell wie möglich eine Schlafgelegenheit sichert." Der Weißkirchner Touristiker und Plaschkothek-Chef Bernd Pfandl berichtet auch von frühen Buchungen: "Die eingefleischten Fans haben sich schon am ersten Tag nach der offiziellen Bekanntgabe der Flugshow bei mir Zimmer gesichert. Aber ich habe noch ein paar Betten frei", so Pfandl.

Täglich Anfragen. Doch das könnte sich schlagartig ändern. So berichtet Karl Schmidhofer, Obmann der Urlaubsregion Murtal: "Bei uns trudeln bereits seit Wochen täglich neue Anfragen ein."

In an area around the base of 50 km everything is already full booked.

someone asked about the museum in zeltweg earlier in this thread - I want to check it out sometime too ....

according to http://www.luftstreitkraefte.at" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which is maintained by local officials the museum will be open in 2009 from may 8 to october 18 (closed mondays)

If already 50 km around zeltweg is all booked out I would consider going straight to the city of Graz which is about 100 km away and could make for a good combination for the overall weekend airshow and a stay in a nice city

(any students here? I started the "Airpower Zeltweg 2009" group on the studivz.net community)

... and looking forward to the show I see no reason or heard of nothing that would still make the event uncertain even though the local and little communist party requested an immediate stop of all preperations ...

Hello,

First timer here! Anyone with experience regarding the latest version of this event? I am wondering, do you need to be
at the special spotterszone for great pictures? Maybe example pictures for the difference? Any tips regarding the show/mm's/traffic/etc are appriciated.

Thanks in advance,

Arco

Oh, just noticed:
see http://cavok-aviation-photos.net/Airpower05.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for shots taken from the hill on the western side of the runway, particularly the Patrulla Aguila, the helos and the Mirage. You will be OK with 400 mm max.

The Alps indeed. Beautiful backdrop for pics if you care for that part of aviation photography, that is. I'm going just the same, spotter's package or not.

good morning!
about the previous day arrivals (25th)... do you know if are the guests expected to arrive just the previous day? They usually arrive in the morning or also in the afternoon?

Which side of the airfield is right for the landings?
Thankyou

I don't see any real advantage photographywise concerning this spotterszone. The crowdline runs adjecent to the taxiway and runway. Excellent pics can be made. Check http://www.gvr-aviation.nl/portfolio/ai ... index.html

As with the majority of airfields, this depends on the wind. I guess it is not possible to tell from which direction that wind will come some 4 months in advance
