The Mi-35 is the export version of the Mi-24V, Hind-E. This example put on a fine display at NATO Days 2019.

Romania was the partner nation for NATO Days 2019. The Șoim (Hawk) is a Romanian advanced trainer and light attack aircraft capable of performing close air support and reconnaissance missions. The type replaced the Aero L-29 Delfin and Aero L-39 Albatros as the jet trainer for the Romanian Air Force. '725' is pictured here on a long, low take-off from rw04 to open the flying display on the second day of this show.

This was the first time for me to see a jet glider display and I was utterly captivated. Poetry in very graceful motion at NATO Days 2019. Operated by Prvni brnenska strojirna.

Both the Gripen and Extra EA-300SR OK-SON are pictured getting airborne off rw22 at the start of a superb joint display at NATO Days 2019.

This was one of the support aircraft for NATO Days 2019 and is pictured here taxying out to rw22 for departure at the end of a great day.

To see (and hear!) a MiG-21 display was an aviation highlight that I'll remember for a long, long time!

The first tranche of Alpha Jets from the Patrouille de France rev up prior to blasting off rw22 at the sytart of their display at NATO Days 2019.

This was one of the support aircraft for NATO Days 2019 and is pictured here on very short final fot rw22. It only stayed on the ground for a hour or so before departing (presumably back to Kbely). The frame was originally delivered to the Czechoslovak AF back in August 1985.

Aircraft crashed in the Mediterranean Sea near the Italian city Terracina 9 days after this picture was taken.
