International Air Show Batajnica 2009 - Aircraft of World War II

imalko · 09-09-2009, 03:36 PM

On Sunday 13th September an International Air Show at Batajnica Air Base will be held. This is first International Air Show to be held in Serbia since 1997 and as such is given great publicity in my country. Living near Batajnica Air Base I had pleasure since beginning of this week to witness rehearsals of our military aircraft for upcoming event and must say I'm very excited about this already. General rehearsal with foreign participants will be held on Saturday. Of course I'll be present at the impatiently anticipated event on Sunday and you can expect a lot of photos from the Air Show.

For now here is the list of participants as published at Air Show's Official Internet Presentation:

United Kingdom: BAE Systems Hawk
Germany: C-160 Transal
Czech Republic: Aero L-159 ALCA and Mil Mi-171Sh
Denmark: F-16 Fighting Falcon and CL-604 Challenger
Greece: Mirage 2000-5
Spain: EADS CASA C-295
United States of America: C-130E Hercules
Hungary: SaaB JAS-39C, SaaB JAS-39D and Mil Mi-24
Slovenia: Pilatus PC-9M, Pilatus PC-6 and L-410 Turbolet
Italy: Eurofighter Typhoon
Austria: Eurocopter Aerospatiale SA 316B Alouette III
France: Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet
Romania: MiG-21 LanceR
Serbia: MiG-29, J-22 Eagle, Sea Gull G-4, Gull G-2, UTVA-75, Gazzele SA-341 and Swallow
Turkey: F-16

Not having seen in person the majority of aircraft listed, you can imagine how much I'm looking forward to all this...

Hello Mate!
Your from Slovakia? (As I see from your user profile.) No tak, potom si môžeme pisať i po Slovensky.

(Then we can write in Slovak language.) OK, but not here there's appropriate thread for that in multilingual corner.

Serbian MiG-29s will definitely have an attractive aerial display, simulating a dog fight I believe. Serbian MiG-21 should (as far as I know) fly too. Not sure about the Romanian MiG-21 though. As I observed today from my balcony it appears as if only one Romanian MiG-21 arrived and I don't know if this plane will fly on the day of the Air Show or will it be only on static display...

Have fun guys, remember to take lots of photos.

There's no reason to be alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?~
