I don't have to. I LIVE here :)

 

Welcome Everyone, in our tiny, dusty, but hopefully friendly city!

 

Looks like some very expected visitors are removed from the listing (like Rafale, A-10, F-15, and some) but the Finnish Hornet and the Spanish Typhoon will be great to watch! Ohh, and C-17 dynamic... Those things are HUGE.

 

This year, our Air Force is 70 years old, so MANY airframes used by Hungary, will be displayed on static, in their old, but renewed paint schemes. These are Messerschmitt Bf-108 (no, not 9, it's 8; hovewer 109 was expected too), MiG-21BISZ, MiG-21 UTI, MiG-21MF "Cápeti"-paint, MiG-23, Szu-22, Mi-1, Mi-2, Ka-26.

OK, can we meet somehow and grab some beers?!!

 

All of you planning on visiting Kecskemet can PM me with your cellphone numbers!

Look like there is going to be a lot of cool aircraft. Seems like a huge air show.

I would love to see a Rafale or a SU-22 up close. Can not wait to see some pics guys.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Dont come back without pictures!

I support it. If you will return without photos or video, I think it will be your end. butcher.gif 123.gif

You made a mistake that you have come to light. :D

Hi there!

 

Vekkinho! We 59thVAB are still planning, which day will be the inside and "outside" visit, but maybe both will be inside the base. If I know any exact info, I'll PM you :) Anyway, outside is 100% in "zero-day", which is Friday. Most pilots are taking a visual on the airfield's surroundings (nav-aid), and this day they ARE NOT limited in airspace nor speed, or altitude :) I hope you know what I mean (for those who not I'll post a picture tomorrow-work now)

 

p.s: In our city, there is a festival in the center, called "vine-street". I hope there's no need to explain the purpose of the fest :D It last all night long.

 

Cheers!

OK guys I made it to Kecskemet on a Saturday (Aug 15th) morning, I got up pretty early that day (4AM) and hit the road at 5 o'clock. It was a pleasant drive despite heavy and low clouds in the sky. There was no rain along so I arrived pretty fast to Kecskemet and parked my car pretty close to airbase, just across the street. I had 20000 HuF in my pocket, enough for me but I was surprised with parking lot fare of 1500HuF. I thought it was free as stated on the official airshow web site.

 

^Perhaps I got it wrong, dunno!

 

It was still early when I arrived (cca 09:30AM), weather was still hung so I had some coffee and ate a sandwitch! I took my jacket just in case of rain but later it seemed more like the burden I had to trekk around. I ran into some Croatian spotter crews that I know from local forums but saw them "live" for the first time! We had couple of beers to celebrate our nationality and...mmph...health, of course!

 

As program closely followed timings weather turned to sunny during afternoon. It was pretty hot later on, IMHO!

 

So I made lots of photos that I'm about to share within next week. Reason being that is the MoBo failure I have ATM and uploading those pics from my girlfriend Natasha's P-II with 56K connection that I use these days is, well let's see, time wasting procedure.

 

(You might have also noticed me being pretty offline last week and a 1/2, but now you know why!)

 

So I'll continue updating this thread with Kecskemet Airshow pics when I put my rig back in business, I must replace MoBo - S478 with same or similar one and upgrade couple of mature hardware items inside like X800 with HD3850. Many peeps ask why don't I just build another PC with up to date hardware but I hate trashing entire thing 'cause this rig could be a pretty good digital typewriter someday and is pretty decent LOFC platform! Of course, I'll buy new PC too but not before DCS:BS becomes available.

 

In other words I'll wait for DCS:BS to baptise it with!

 

All in all, it was a wonderful Saturday in Hungary!

 

Expect pics!

 

Soon...I hope!

Sure thing Eurofor, I also got me a appropriate cap:

I'll post some more Gripen pics when I resize 'em!

 

This one impressed me! Luftwaffe Typhon! Huge bird, bigger than Gripen but agile as a wasp:
