Hello all,
This weekend was the annual Oldtimer Weekend at the Medlánky glider airport in Brno, Czech Republic.
The weather was lovely with Autumn backdrops to shoot some of the action against.
What looked like a freshly built Grunau Baby II was the first thing to get my attention upon arrival:
Sleicher Ka 6E
Let L-23 Super Blaník
The M-28 is a Czech recreational glider design
One of two Scheibe Bergfalke III gliders in attendance
A few general views around the airfield
One of two Aerotechnik L-13SE Vivat motorised gliders on hand for the day
Flying action started with the local aeroklub's Piper Pawnee taking the L-23 skyward
A couple of shots of the Grunau Baby II in flight
The Let LF-109 Pionýr is a Czech training design dating to 1950
The Zlín Z-24 Krajánek is a post WWII Czech variation of the Baby II
Some Bergfalke III action
The Letov LF-107 Luňák, a rare Czech aerobatics type from the late 1940s, putting on a display
Another Czech rarity was this VSB-62 Vega from 1962. The only one of its kind ever made
A Zlín ZG-125 Šohaj goes aloft. The Šohaj familz of gliders dates to 1947
Not vintage, but quite welcome all the same was this Duo Discus
We also had some vintage GA aircraft on hand:
These two Zlín Tréners, a Z-226 and Z-126 respectively, dropped in to join the event
This Orličan L-60 Brigadýr took skydivers up several times
This 1944 vintage Piper Cub was on hand and giving rides
