Airpower19 - Zeltweg Airbase Sept 2019

[exdraken]

Hi eveybody, some photos form the great, but unfortunatley very grey and partly wet Airpower airshow this late summer! so please do not expect any wonders photo wise  

 

lets start with a 

QRA demo by the locals

they even painted / foiled a special tail and external tanks!

intercepting a Falcon business jet  (and a very nice one that is!)

 

 

some more locals, as I suppose that those are the ones you see the least

a short but nice trainers display: in the foreground  3 of the 4 new basic trainer Diamond Aircraft DA40 NG and some of the remaining PC-7

 

then most likely the LAST Saab 105  formation display ever (airframe hours really run out.... no replacement in sight unfortunately)

as I said before, not the best sunshine photos!...

and the tiger solo:

Staffel 3 is a Tiger associated squadron

 

 

another rare local:

Aloutte 3 winching operations

 

lots of other heli action:

 

some nice and silent glider action for a change:

 

Suisse neighbors:

 

sneak pass or high speed pass? 

 

my personal highlight, from far than optimal position the Polish AIrforce Su-22 Fitter, this time in grey camo!  louuuuud!

 b

with lots of tiny?? flares

yeah.. and grey in grey of course!

 

some older stuff:

you sure know better then me what this is

 

 

and an interesting dogfight!

 

Hungarian Gripen

with flares and other type of light show:

 

Belgian guests:

please note the special Austrian port stab in Austrian Colors  

Zeltweg was Draken country until 2005

the Swedes brought one back  - thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for comments, hope you like it a bit!

 

cheers, 

Werner

Nice!!! The Patrouille Suisse ones are really nice.

Draken in reheat? - that'll do for me!

Hi, Werner. 

 

You have produced great images in some difficult lighting situations. Looks like a great show. 

 

Thanks for sharing with us.

Brilliant photos, the stand out one for me is the Fokker triplane, that would make a stunning boxart
