I'm afraid that the detailed program is available only in Hungarian. :( I'll insert it into my following message. Camping will be in a parking (400 meters away from the entrance no. 2), water, power, mobil toilet will be provided. The camping will open at 3pm, August 15. Place reservation: rieger@t-...

Not yet. I guess the detailed programme will be available just within a few weeks on the website and/or on the info note which you get with the ticket you bought.

You can buy tickets at the entrance and the people at the ticket office will speak English.

aviodromefriend: what do u mean by "gestures"???

In the previous years there were no divided areas though as I remembered they were marked on the information note I received with the ticket. I guess, you don't have to worry about this.

I guess as well that it'll be posted only a few days before...

Looks fine.

Yeah, all the Sukhois and MiG-21s/23s went to Pápa (aka "Jurassic Park"). I also hope that the Polish ones will be on dynamic as well (last year they were only on static). Would be great to see one of them in the air...

Erwin,

thx for the info. I guess in this part of Europe this will be one of the first (if not the first) dynamic displays by an AWACS. (Before, IF it came, it was on static.) Of course I don't expect the same level of aerobatics than from a good old MiG-29, but hope will be a nice one.

I'll soon post the updates of the participants, but has anyone seen a dynamic display of an E-3 AWACS??? They seem to promise one for this year's airshow...

Cheers,

All jet fighter types of the HuAF will be on static at Kecskemét. What I found as a nice addition was the Fitter and the Mi-1.

aviodromefriend: I remember to read how they transported MiG-21Us which were sold to India by road. I guess they would rather take examples from Szolnok instead of Papa.

You're welcome!

Btw. one GBP was tday 350 HUF.

Hi PIK flyer, Thank you for the info with regard to the trains and about the hotels being booked up. Glad I am with an outfit where they are prepared to help fellow air-minded people.
