Kecskemet Airshow 2007 part I

Post by :FI:Ghost » Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:05 pm

This was my first airshow ever, and certainly, just first of many. We had to spend the whole day from 7 to 18 out in the sun (althought a few times it was about to rain) but the experience was great. So here are the photos I took there.

Image

This is F-16 obviously. The loudes plane we saw there. All planes that participated in dynamic part of the show taxiied only 7 meters from the place we were standing so we heard them very well and this F-16 had such a loud, whistling sound, much louder than any other we saw...

This is me (you'll notice how handsome I am :))) in front of F-18

Image

Me again, in the cockpit of Mi-24 (now when I think, cockpit is really a funny word isnt't it?)

Harrier in hangar

German Tornado

One of new hungarian Gripen's. They were showing off with them throughout the whole airshow

They banned airshow? Why on earth did they do that?

Ever since those nasty disasters from other international events. The Airports Authority decided to halt future airshows. I always thought they could have static aircraft on display.
