There is now a lot more information on the show website about public transport. It looks as if the special trains into the base are for rail passengers only, while there are special busses (at normal bus fares) for everyone else.
My situation is that I will be arriving (by train) on the Friday and staying in a Radom hotel. I had intended catching the special train into the base so that I can photograph the wrecks and relics near the base railway station. It looks like it will be easier for me to catch the bus however as one of the special busses passes my hotel.
1) If I catch the bus, is it possible for me to walk towards the airfield train station just to see the preserved aircraft?
2) If I catch the special train, do I need to have arrived by train the same day?
Thanks.
1) I belive yes. Cause probably train will go also back - so people have to get somehow to airfield train station What aircrafts are preserved there? Maybe you should visit Krakow Aviation Museum - I am sure that there you will find much more;) It is only 200km
2) No.
Thanks Borgyo for that info
- my understanding is that there are several preserved aircraft (I've found photos of SU-22; MIG-23; MI-24) - possibly more. They are apparently displayed somewhere near the base railway station. I've read in the past that these are only visible if you take the train - if you arrive by bus, you enter the airfield at a different gate. Perhaps someone who has been at the 2005 show can clarify?
Yes, I agree about the Krakow museum - fantastic. I visited last year.
OK, another public transport question. There is a light airfield at Radom-Piastow, north of the city. None of the city busses seem to go that far north. Does anyone know of a bus I can take to check out the airfield?
