It was not the last time :-)
Better late than never! here are some random pictures of the event and some the new friends I (hopefully ;-)) made.
“tmo” and “Jan_O”
Jan Olieslagers playing the Accordeon. Great sportsman that he is he drove almost a 1000 km to meet us!
Early in the morning before the airshow
JnsV and his cousin arriving from Hungary
Our personal transport
The LKRK Aeroclub asked me to put the Cirrus on display aswell
This Lockheed Electra is in the Czech Republic since 1937, and was restored for 3.5 million dollars in Texas. The pilot is a great guy who is actually a Chemistry professor in Prague and who told me some great stories about the history of the plane
One of the highlights were the demos flown by this (Czech owned) Spitfire
tmo preparing for his flight home to Poland.

Thank you everybody for coming, it was great to meet you guys, and I hope it was not the last time!
A little late, but after 4 hours in the Prakt the only thing I wanted was quiet :)
Great hosts, great friends, great event! Thank you for all the support, I really hope to “pay it forwards” to the people at my club who, like me till last Friday, were wanting to fly abroad but too overwhelmed by the concept. Which really proved to be a non-event. So, to all those who, like me, feel overwhelmed – do your prepwork, and if the conditions are looking good, just do it, already, but beware, it is highly addictive.
Glad to know everyone got home OK!
I flew home IFR, most of the time in IMC at FL80, but harmless at +6 C.
Great to meet all of you. I think it was great airshow and a lot of fun.
Ah! Good to hear, thanks! Myself just came home after driving some 900 eventless kms through mostly unflyable weather, including clouds down to surface even at +/- 1400’ AMSL – it is as well I preferred to leave the plane in its stable. Some pictures are at imgur .
It was nice to meet all of you in person, to visit the nice town, and the very fine organisation. All praise and thanks to @Flyer59 for the invitation!
@Flyer59 @tmo @Jan_Olieslagers
I have safely arrived back in Hungary. It was very nice to meet you. Alexis, thanks for everything!
I’ll write a proper trip report soon.
Well, I finally decide to drive, have just arrived. The club and field are very welcoming!
@Alexis: looks like you landed during my lunch, in downtown.
Hi, I’ll fly there tomorrow, and I’ll be at the airport from the morning on Saturday. Just send me a message, number by PM
I will be there on Saturday. Do we have any particular time and place to meet?
@Janosz: thanks, you reassure me. Looking forward!
@Alexis: reply just sent, I almost distrust the string of green lights on the horizon! Too good to be true!
