Can somebody in the know !
Confirm that Besmer will have its open day (few hours), on the 5th of october as usual ?
If Graf has moved to the 6th Oct (unusual to be a weekend OD).
This could provide a interesting Double header !!!

Cheers

Hello,
Su-25 is not flying since end of June, so on 5-th October there will be no flying activities at Bezmer Air Base, but I heard some good news about 6.10 at Graf Ignatievo. They will try something bigger the just open house day. But there a lot of time till October, so just hope that all will happen.
