20th CIAF 2013 in Hradec Králové

Post by Luzifer-RN »

In September 2013 I visited my last airshow of this season, like the last years I was at Hradec Králové for the CIAF, the Czech International Air Festival.

Its a smaller show then the others, but you see some rare visitors there. This years highlight was the SU-27 from the Ukraine Air Force, they came with 2 aircrafts and an Antonov for static and supporter. Second Highlight for me was the visit of 2 special marked Alpha Jets from the Portugal Air Force.

This years show was smaller then the last years, but the weather was amazing and me and my wife had a nice time there. You can stay on top of the old shelters so you have some different views, but I saw, that 300 mm is a little less for a lens. ;)

So.. that was the introduction, now lets start with pictures:

One of the Static Highlights was the MiG-29 from the Slovak Air Force, unfortunately this year it wasn't fly.

I am not sure, what is hiding here... maybe another SU-27? :D
