Piestany is my hometown, I know the place like my shoes. As accredited press member you will have a place reserved among other visitors, though still against the sun afternoon. You better cross the railway next to runway on your own and take photos from the corn field. Some my photos from 2007 airshow. Will be there again like last year.JetSpotter215 wrote:Does somebody have an email address or contact, where you can accredit as press photographer (and what advantages do you have in Piestany compared to normal visitors?

I used the mail address "press@nld.sk" for further informations on the official website, but no response
Thank you in advance for some hints
Wow - really nice shots! But I assume your spot was slightly better that regular visitor;)martinez wrote:Piestany is my hometown, I know the place like my shoes.

Can you tell us on what time we should change location to avoid taking pictures against the sun? Is it possible to be between railway and airfield fence? Or should we go to mentioned corn field? What about railway electricity lines? Aren't they to close to take shots?
You can try to change sides whenever you like, I`m just telling you possible obstacles during the airshow display time. I remember some of my friends were not allowed to do that bcs of police and airshow organizers. Railway electricity lines stand in the way of course when staying in the cornfield, therefore I took pictures from railway embankment during take-offs and landings, then I run again deep to the cornfield. Yes, you can stay between railway and airfield fence.Borygo wrote:Martinez, thanks for quick reply!
That's not a good news....My plan was to change sides around 12 o'clock...but now I am confused...
Is it possible to stay between railway and airfield fence? If I will be on corn field - what about railway electricity lines?
I am from Poland and I will be traveling via Bratislava which will be my forward operating base:)
Russian participation is doubtful in general, but you know the hope dies at last. A month ago Russian president Medvedev visited Slovakia, we have good relationship with them in the military area, so they officialy invited Russians to attend NLD2010. I heard from first hand there were some negotiations, but probably failed bcs of Organizer's inability to fulfill Russian requirements.Borygo wrote:Thanks again.
Can you please show me on google maps where I should leave car if I decide to go directly to railway side?
Another thing: can you please confirm us on Friday when Russian Sukhoi will arrive? Cause now I strongly doubt if Russians will take part of the show...
Thank you!
cheers!

Shame about Russians...For all of us this would be a highlight...Who knows...we will see. I hope that Italian Typhoon will be there at least.martinez wrote:Russian participation is doubtful in general, but you know the hope dies at last.

You can leave your car somewhere near village Bašovce (Bashovce), then walk the bridge over the highway D1 and across the cornfield to the railway line. Another option is showed on the map above, but be aware the blue line could be occupied by police men also early morning. Near the railway, there is a parking place for firefighter cars(blue-red line crossing), they might disagree with car parking hindering their movement and calling police. Not my advice.
