This An-2 was first delivered to Unimax Air Service in March 1991. Those days are long gone and on this day it was a jump ship for parachutists at this show. The event was organised as a chance for the local community to turn out and show ther support for their local airfield. There is a very real danger that the airfield will be closed and the site redeveloped into a huge factory. I really hope that this dosn't happen and this historic airfield continues long into the future.

This AT-19 was built by Vultee and TOC by the USAAF as 42-46643 and during its service life it also flew with the Fleet Air Arm as FK817 and the US Navy as 11297. It then passed on to the N-register as N70096 and became N817FK in 1997 before arriving at Classic trainers in June 2016. This very interesting and unusual warbird is pictured at the Classic Trainers Open Hangar.

This P-2 was formerly G-PTWO and is pictured here at the Classic Trainers Open Hangar. To reduce costs during development the Swiss recycled parts from surplus, older aircraft already in their inventory. for example, landing gear from their Messerschmitt Bf 109s and the similarity can clearly be seen.

This Yak-18 was built in 1978 and was delivered in April to AFL/Aktyubinsk as CCCP-4426 and then as UN-44261. In June 2007 it was operated as RA-3467K in Germany but attempts to place it on the German register were unsuccessful. Instead it went to Poland as SP-FUH and now SP-EIB. It wore 'Golden Eagle Air.cz' titles for a time but these have now gone (except the eagle on the tail) and is now parked at LKLN.

This Kaydet was taken on charge by the US Navy as 43436. After decomissioning it was placed on the civil register as N1330M in 1948 and by 1953 was being flown as a crop duster. In 1969 it was converted to a two-seater and subsequently was registered N43GK and N785L. In 1987 it underwent a restoration after which it reverted back to N43GK and was acquired by Classic Trainers in 2010 with a USN Yellow Peril scheme. At some point over the past few years this has been changed to 'FJ934' RAF markings.

This Kaydet was taken on charge by the US Navy as 43436. After decomissioning it was placed on the civil register as N1330M in 1948 and by 1953 was being flown as a crop duster. In 1969 it was converted to a two-seater and subsequently was registered N43GK and N785L. In 1987 it underwent a restoration after which it reverted back to N43GK and was acquired by Classic Trainers in 2010 with a USN Yellow Peril scheme. At some point over the past few years this has been changed to 'FJ934' RAF markings.

This Texan was built in Dallas and TOC by the USAAF as 42-44038 and subsequently with the South African Air Force as 7696. It became N696RE in August 1997 and arrived in Pilsen around June 1012. It has recently discarded its old SAAF markings and received this pseudo-RAF scheme becoming FX352, perhaps in recognition of the many WWII Czech pilots that trained on Harvards.

This Beaver was originally TOC by the US Army as 56-0402 around 1956. After decomissioning it carried the registrations N67146 and N555EF before taking up N755JM in August 1989. It is now based at Línĕ and was fortunately sitting nicely in the hangar during my visit.

This Fishbed-D was TOC in April 1965 and flew with the 8. stíhací letecký pluk (8th Fighter Air Regiment). It was decomissioned in January and allocated for preservation. It has been around the museums in the Czech Republic, spending time at Vyskov, Olomouc and Zruč Air Park before arriving at Classic Trainers. The frame is now something of a shell with no cockpit or engine.
