Taking off for yet another mission during CK05. In the background are an American HH-60G, an Hungarian Mi-17 and a Polish Mi-8.

This MiG-21Bis has now been rebuilt to BisD standard.

22 EBA markings. It was worth waiting for the rain to clear. Eventually this resulted in some fine sunny shots of these rare aircraft. By the way: the serial number is hand written in the main wheel bay.

Aircraft of the Krila Oluje aerobatic team.

Running back to the sea to pick up more water to fight an outbreak of fire in the hills near Split. Summer 2007 was a very bad season for fires on the Croatian coast. This was the first of six CL-415s supplied to Croatia, in 1997; the most recent arrived in early 2010. Initially civil-registered, they were transferred to the Air Force in 2002 and are based at Zadar. Three of the older piston-engined CL-215s were used until replaced by the turboprops in 2004

After the show.

Preserved in a war museum in Turanj, a suburb of Karlovac.

Landing on Rwy 16.

Originally CCCP-48056 of Aeroflot and acquired by the Croatian Govt in 1996, initially with a 9A- civil registration. Nice to catch as last time I saw it, was all grey with no marks after a rework at Kiev
