Anyone already a answer from them?
I've now received two e-mails from them regarding the spotters package. It looks like they sent the same mail to everyone, going by the list of addresses on the mail.

This is the first one:-

Dear Sir/Madam,
entrance to AFB Čáslav is free therefore you can take photos all planes during whole open day. I required accreditation for open day because of special press area on the opposite side of runway. This capacity is limited and I have in hand two busses for this opportunity. I needed to know how many people have interest. This press area will be available between 11.35 – 12.35 o´clock, time and place will be more specify on 23 May 2009 at 8.00 a.m. at the old gate of AFB Čáslav (entrance from Chotusice).
If you are interested in interview and press foyer, please contact me via d.smitalova@seznam.cz till 21 May 2009. More information about program you can take via http://www.openday2009.eu" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

...but it gets worse!!!

This is the second one:-

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like to say you very unpleasant thing about taking photo on the opposite side. Jak-11, P-51 Mustang, Airbus which should participate in special window for photographers at open day, refuse participation. The special time for taking photo on the opposite side of runway must be shorter (only 20 minutes) in this reason because after that there must take up dynamic display. I apologize very much but mistake isn´t on the side of AFB ?áslav, we are very sad because it.
F-16, Fantom confirm participation. (I guess they mean "Falcon"

So, to get 20mins on the other side, you have to turn up for the press briefing at 08:00, attend a charity event and generally hang around for 2,5 hrs. It seems that they are not allowing anyone on the other side during the dynamic displays.

I think I will just stay on the airshow side.

Thank´s a lot for the information :D
I didn´t receive any mail ...

But of course, you are right. Staying on the static side will be, most probably, be better.
