upnorth Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Through December of 2023 and January 2024, An Aero 145 was flown nearly 20,000 kilometers from Australia to the Czech Republic. The 60+ year old aircraft was one of five of the type exported to Australia in the early 1960s and is the only one of those five aircraft still flying. There are less than ten of the type still flying worldwide. The aircraft is now part of the RAF Station Czechoslovakia historic aircraft collection and will be kept flying: https://www.tigermoth.cz/en/collection/aero-145-s-n-20-001-en The trip itself was quite an adventure, mostly due to bureaucracy headaches. Here's an interview with the pilot: https://english.radio.cz/pilot-flies-vintage-aero-145-australia-czechia-8807845 Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to seeing this aircraft at Czech airshows in the future. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
