Hello all: I'm planning to buy an Airmodels 1/72 Lockheed Jetstar kit in the near future. I know it's quite a spartan vac form kit, so I need some pics of certain details so I can scratchbuild or raid the spares box for appropriate items. I'm particularly interested in deatail pics of the landing ge...

Thanks a lot Reggie!

I'm going for a few days holiday and then I'll send an email out their way and see what happens.

Hello all: I'm gathering photos together in preparation to build a model of the Edgely Optica prototype G-BGMW. The kit I have has the basics, but is a bit lacking in finer detail. While I have found enough photos to get the cockpit generally right, I have had very little luck finding clear pictures...

Here's some shots of a 737 that did a bit of flying around just ahead of the opening of the NATO Day show at Ostrava yesterday. It did a great low pass witha Czech air force gripen, but my pic of that didn't turn out at all. :grr: I appoligise for the low quality, but my camera is a small automatic ...

Here's a few civil helicopters that were on show in conjunction with NATO Day in Ostrava: EC 135 in air ambulance and police colours: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e59/cancze/NATO%20Day%202011/DSCF6405.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e59/cancze/NATO%20Day%202011/DSCF6366.jpg Two of a batch...

Wow!

That's a lot of moving around!

Hello all: I hope I'm putting this in the right spot. These are from a visit to Red Bull's hangar in Salzburg last June. It's not exactly a museum as none of the many former military aircraft on site are properly restored to their service schemes. Eventually I opted to put these in the civil side of...

Those of you who also frequent the military side of these boards probably noticed several posts I made on the open day of the Czech air base at Caslav yesterday. Here are some views of the "civvie" side of the event: This is an Ae 207 Ibis, a joint project between Aero of the czech Republic and AIDC...

Thanks for the comments Twinpin. The Czech Republic has been home for me for the past seven years, so I won't be leaving soon. I don't have much reason to go up into the Ostrava region except at the end of September every year when they have a big military show at Mosnov airport. In the last year or...

Hi Mike:

Through airliners.net, I found the aircraft is construction number 6879.

I found one photo of it there from 1998 where it was stated to be G-AMAI at the time.

Hi Stephen:

Thanks for the comments.

There was an AN-2 at Turany today. Unfortunately it was across the field and a bit too far away for my camera. I tried to find a way to get closer to it, but the airport police shoed me away. At least they were polite about it.

Thanks, Reggie:

I also quite like the lines of the 45 and the 145 that was developed from it. I have a bit of preferance for the 145 on account of its reduced canopy framing though.

I took this photo of a German registered DeHavilland Dragon Rapide at a small airshow in Pardubice, Czech Republic in spring 2010:

Here's a photo I took of an Embraer Legacy 600 that was part of the static park at a small airshow in Pardubice, Czech Republic in spring 2010:

Here's a few Czech GA types seen at various locations in the Czech Republic over the past few years: We'll start off with pics from today, taken at Brno's Turany airport: This Zlin 142 was sitting nicely close to the fence for me: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e59/cancze/Turany%20spotting/DSCF57...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on the civilian side here; though I have been on the military side of the site for a while now. Here are some vintage civil machines in Czech air museums: Tupolev Tu-104 at the Kbely museum in Prague: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e59/cancze/Kbely%20air%20mu...
