But the Belgian F-16 flying demo team have self-confirmed for Slovakia Malacky:

Evening,

Having a few days in Bratislava it would be rude not to go to Malacky and was pleased with the friendly although small show - any show with five German AF and one AMI Eurofighters is not considered that small but was enjoyed. Had to leave prior to the end so was unable to confirm;
1. The seventh Croatian PC-9, and
2. the Slovak LET 410 on the flightline.

As I got thrown out of the "Media" area which was quite spacious with only around 15 guys shooting, I was unable to check the flightline too well.

Anyway, anyone who can assist with the missing serials would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Kind regards

Hi Rick,
Would you be so kind to post your log here and people can reply to you about the missing serials?
It would also help me to make the Airshow report. MTIA

Hi,

OK, will do when I have digitalised it. Maybe a few days as awaiting documents from SK, however know what I have not been able to log. Be aware that in leaving early I do not know the AH-64D or A109.

However posting that is not affecting others hopefully reporting the non-flying Croatian PC-9 nor the sole 410 on the flightline. Cheers.

Regards
Rick

Hi,
As promised and clearly gaps, as requested the seventh Croatian PC-9 and the Slovak 410. Did not wait for or see the USAR AH-64 or FAB A109. Civilian lights not recorded. If this helps someone, maybe they could help me.

The Slovak L410 on the flightline was the 2721.

Flying only on sunday were; 31+08, 31+20.

The Belgium A109 was the H46.

The USAR AH64 is a difficult one to me, could only read ‘34’.

Further found in a small hangar behind the static were; Slovak L410’s 2311,2421.

5803 is a Antonov 24
Parked next to 5803 was Antonov 26 3208, also stored
Walking to the car park we came across preserved L29 3404
Sukhoi 22 3316 should be also preserved but not read it off myself

Hi,

Suppose someone had to put their head above the parapet but grateful for the additional information.

There were definitely seven Croatian PC-7s on the northern flightline as counted by myself and I read off three on the ground and have seen video of only six. Can anyone identify the seventh?

Can not help with anything else as I specifically came in from the north at Kuchyne to avoid lengthy walks.

Regards
Rick

[Sleegertje]

Thanks for posting the log and additions.
Did anybody read the constructionnumbers of UH-60s 7445, 7446 and 7448?

Hi Rene,

I certainly didn't. Where are they on the frame for these? Thought H-60 MSNs were on the rear cabin wall somewhere.

Regards

[AndyMarden]

They are in the right-hand pilot's footwell, and are usually easily visible from outside (the cyclic sometimes gets in the way)

[Vulture One]

Cheers,

will remember that for next time I see a Slovak or Austrian. Not visible in any of my photos at Malacky however. Is that the same for all H-60s such as the USN MH-60Rs and Ss?

Regards
Rick W

[AndyMarden]

Yes, standard for H-60s.
