In the early afternoon we saw two Gripens in the hangar (candidates are 32, 36 and 37), but in the early evening the hangar was empty. Dispersals near flightline West: Row 1 06 MiG-29B MH 59. Sz.D.

The stored ones looked weathered and had the old red codes while the operational ones had recently seen a paintbrush and wore the new blue codes. They were parked in a long row of seven, one of four and two of three. With a bit of effort they could all be read from the nearby parking lot and from across the runway.

With a bit of effort one could see all the surviving MiG-29s (26), all L-39s on the base (19) and the eleven Gripens delivered so far. Combined with a couple of very pleasant Balkan visitors this gave a great day out.
