Hi Pete,

I sent a request for Saturday. If you want to go a different day try the same.
To Alois Wonaschütz
Luftfahrt-Museum@gmx.at

Great to see Zeltweg show is looking much more promising now

Van Bullitt

Many thanks for the info

Any one else going out for this , I am flying out on the Thursday morning, show Friday and back to UK Saturday afternoon .
If anyone fancies a bit of wreck and relicing Inbetween Graz and Zeltweg on the B70 is town called Voitsberg Preserved in the town is a ex Swedish AF Draken 35601 marked as 16 Austrian AF
situated on the right hand side in front of a SPAR Supermarket on what used to be the main road( Graser Vorstad) .

Don't forget the Mig-23 at Kainz although a bit off the route.

Well,Still no info on Wiener Neustadt

The plan is
Weds Arrival Vienna,then Wiener Neustadt
Thurs Zeltweg arrivals
Fri Zeltweg Show
Sat Zeltweg Show
Sun Graz Muesum Depart Vienna

I'm in a full car
Surprised No one (Apart from Eagle Driver) has identifed as going

Pete

I'm with the family doing Vienna Tue/Wed then have a look at Tulln airfield and pres Draken I need then Zeltweg show Friday and Graz Saturday first thing.

Pete,
probably not worth the effort at Weiner Neustadt for the Pc-6s, they typically turn up en masse at Airpower. In 2016 five of them arrived on the Wednesday mid-afternoon and even used the main runway (all too often less conveniently they use the grass one).

I'll be there for a ninth time at Airpower.


Paul.

Only my 3rd Air Power doing wrecks and relics to...anyone know if the new replacement Croatian Mig 21 is on display at Zeltweg Museum yet?

> The F-86 Sabre will perform a dogfight with the Czech MiG-15UTi during the flying display.
> Unlikely to see Austrian C-130K in the flying display due to issues with fleet serviceability (cracks in the wings).
> Swiss Hawker Hunter, in tiger livery, rumoured to be in attendance. Not sure if flying or static.
> NATO E-3A Sentry due for static display.
Another information on FB by the Hunter operator states that the Tiger Hunter HB-RVV will be flying also together with Patrouille Suisse just like they have done at Zigermeet last week.

Full list now on official website

Shamelessly copied from another forum and another poster without credit...

The PC6s are based at Tulln and not Wiener Neustadt. They occasionally use the latter for parachuting..
