Unusually, I did my spotting today on the terminal side of the airport. Here's some of the action: First a couple of shots of the ramp and term...

ERJ-145 at Brno (BRQ) - 7.7.2016

Hello all: Here's a few pictures I took of an Embraer ERJ-145 at Brno, Czech Republic at the start of July. It was flying the recently established route between Brno and Munich: http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l615/Pickled_Wings/Spotting/Brno/IMG_8184_zpsl9lmv3lf.jpg http://i1126.photobucket.com...

Here's the Flying Bulls coming down from a loop at Pardubice, Czech Republic in 2014. It was the final year for them performing as a quartet of Zlin Z-50 aircraft; they converted to a trio of XtremeAir XA42 aircraft for the 2015 season:

Douglas Propliners: DC-1 to DC-7

I thought the Douglas propliners would be a good theme to build a thread on. Douglas was a powerhouse of the era and aircraft class and, I think, there's very few sounds as evocative as a group of big radial engines growling in unison.

Re: Old Malev hardware on display in Budapest

Thanks for the kind comments, it was definitely a very worthwhile place to visit.

I'd been meaning to visit Aeropark for a few years, so I'm glad I finally got out there this time. It was out third or fourth time in budapest.
