Zagreb - Lucko

1Aeroclub Zagreb

Arriving at Lucko, the first thing to do is to drive to the aeroclub. Since the aeroclub is located right between the police and air force compound, views of helicopters on both sides can be had. There is even a playground here in case you brought the kids, from which views are excellent. You can walk up to the police hangar and check if anybody is around to give you a short tour or read off the helicopters on the apron. You will be able to read most military helicopters parked outside from here, or move on to spot 2 to do so. Backlight will prevent taking good shots of runway activity.

228 Approach & east side

In the unlikely event you do not succeed at spot 1, this spot comes handy. Turn right on Ul.Jezdovecka when coming from the aeroclub, and turn right again just past the airfield. You will enter the premises of a garden centre from where you can read some of the helicopters.

3North west side

After visiting spot 1 or 2, spot 3 has to be visited for the ultimate result. Afeter entering Jezdovec from the south, enter Ul.Student 2 on your left (not to be mixed up with Ul.Student 1). After the right curve, turn left on Ul.Keseri and drive it up to the end to get an unobstructed view on the remaining air force helicopters that are parked outside and the defunct Mi-6.

410 Approach & west side

If you have time left and want to photograph some of the action, spot 4 is the place to be. Drive all the way back to Ul.Puskariceva, turn right on it, and right again on Ul.Gorenska. Take the first dirt road on your right towards the airfield perimeter. Where the road meets the fence you will have an interesting overview with good light conditions for photography, in the afternoon that is.
