Pardubice Aviation Fair 2018 - Part 1 (statics)

Hello all,

 

Yesterday, I went to the annual airshow at Pardubice, Czech Republic.

 

As usual, this show has the focus on civlian and vintage aircraft with modern military aircraft taking a smaller role.

 

The weather was great and the show enjoyable as always.

 

Here's some of what was in the static park, much of it also participated in the flying:

You got to admit... the EU shows always seem to attrarct an eclectic and very interesting mix of superb vintage types. I wish these would come to U K shows such as the Boomerang and those Stearmans...

I have to admit, we are pretty spoiled at shows here on the continent.

 

However, I wish we would see more of some of the vintage stuff on the UK show circuit make it's way over here more often.

 

A few years ago at pardubice, we had a Buchon, Hurricane and Catalina in from the UK. A few years before that, a B-17 and P-47 were scheduled for the show but had to cancel due to poor weather between Germany and the Czech Republic.

 

I was quite saddened when G-CVIX had her gear up landing incident. I was hoping the Pardubice show organisers might find their way to inviting her and crew one year. I think she'd have fit right in and the show could use a touch more on the vintage jet end of things.
