gec Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Croatian Aviation celebrated 100 years of existence (same as Swedish ) and i was on the airshow that tuck place in Zagreb. Although Croatia had aces on both side (Allied and Axis) we do not have any airworthy Spit, Hurry, 109, 87 or any other famous plane. here are some pictures: replica of the airplane that was built 1910 by the Slavoljub Penkala, who also built first Airport in Croatia. That was the beginning of Croatian Aviation. Antonov AN-2 and my ugly mug in it Polikarpov Po-2 Pitts S2B Eurocopter EC 130 B4 my favorite Sea Wind 4 seats, can land on land or water. perfect family ride nameless Meteor Only two of these entirely metal gliders where built in Croatia in 1957 and this one is still flying. a pair of engine equipped gliders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 31, 2010 2. Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2010 Likewise, nice mix of planes you had there - it's been ages since I last saw an AN-2 (largest single-engined biplane ever - apparently) Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Here's some more pictures, not nearly as high quality, with a cheap camera and a damaged lens, mostly of stuff Gec might have missed/didn't post. Also, you'll get no thumbnails from me. Don't hate me, laziness is a disability. The "nameless" plane is a Long-EZ This is the Soko G-2 Galeb, the first Yugoslavian built jet fighter, from 1961. This one flew in from Serbia, I couldn't help to wonder whether it bombed our cities 15-20 years earlier. Got stuck in a hole with the nose wheel, yes, that's people pushing a jet fighter I crave one of these so much A Lamborgini This Skymaster wasn't an exhibit but was parked by a hanger You can see why... Looks just like in the game I went up on a fly above the capital in this crate. It was like riding in an old Yugoslav car with wings <br style=""> <br style=""> Zoom. The pinnacle of the Croatian airforce, only 50 years outdated Hoping to fly this charming obsolete crate myself next spring, depends on the funds. More of the Meteor. Not only is it unique, it has no designated max speed, and I remember reading that it was flown in excess of 500km/h which to my knowledge is almost science fiction as far as gliders are concerned. My favorite also, this thing is pure luxury on wings. So unique and amazing. The inside is confy and modern, glass cockpit, just land, take a swim and get back in the air again. I wonder if it's air conditioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
