Hi all, here are some formation shots from airshows I've been to recently out here in the sticks Czech Rep.

Taken on my digital snapper, these are the best ones from a very grim selection.... :D

Just thought I'd share anyway....

 
Frecce Tricolore - alla vaniglia

Strizi - an A.Net candidate? What do you think?  ;)

Image


Two Albatrosses and a Curl

Image


Hinds - like, duh ::)

Image


Old yellow lawnmowers. Not sure what they are. Lancaster bombers?

Image


3 Gripens!

Image


Er... Red Bull planez. Extra's, right?

Image


Do I really need to go on insulting your intelligence and naming these shots?

Have a good weekend!

Nice one. Some unusual aircraft there. ;)

Old yellow lawnmowers. Not sure what they are. Lancaster bombers?

Er... Red Bull planez. Extra's, right?

;D ;D The Russian Swifts, you're a lucky chap to have seen them (not to mention the 3 Gripens, Czech AF equipment and the Hinds)!

Nah, the Red Bull planes are Sukhoi's surely. ;D







Ok so I don't know. Everyone else was guessing though.

Gentlemen, you are FAST!! Thanks for the info!

It's great to see those 'eastern' machines, but I've seen them so many times they're no longer exotic for me... how I long to see Spitfires, Moths, Eurofighters and other exotic WESTERN provenience....

Cheers

I can understand but what I will see is believe me, the Mig 29 is much better than the (current RAF display)Typhoon as an airshow performer! ;)

The Flying Bulls

Didn't realise the Zlin 50 was over 30 years old...

Neato! the Safir looks like a love child from a union between the Swift and the Mentor... very interesting.
