Back with the second day of our Mig bash, We left the hotel at 04-30 to
drive back into Slovakia and do a museum in that country and then go up into
The Czech Rep
for one there and a few other bits as well. After a very uneventful drive we
arrived back to where we started for a quick look at Bratislava Airport in
daylight. |

One of the reasons we returned here was to get the 2 stored Police Mil
Helicopters near the maintenance area and anything else we could see. The
two Mil,s are stored out on the ramp and are easy to get from the viewing
area at the side of the terminal. |

Next we headded off North to go to the museum at Piestany , The museum only
opens at 09-00, 11-00 and 13-00 and you have a guided tour by its owner. The
entry charge is £0.42p each or for all three of us £1.26 !, Now where can
you see this lot below for 42p and have a guided tour ? |

Leaving Piestany and crossing into The Czech Rep, En route to Vyskov we
passed an airfield with some LET-410,s on it, The slight snag was we were on
a Duel Carriage Way and could not turn round to have a look, It turned out
to be |
|
|
|
KUNOVICE 07-10-07 |
|
|
|
A great pity we could not get there is a small museum there with around 13
aircraft in it. And the old Let factory has around 10 Let-410,s sored
outside, Next Time for this 100%. |
|
|
|
So we arrived next at the next museum and with no Czech money or
Euros, But the guy at the gate let us in anyway as he had seen us going
through our wallets trying to find some cash, All i can say is "What a Very,
Very Nice Man" |

Well that we about it for time so we set sail for Bratislava, Only when we
got on the motorway to Bratislava did we find out it was so close only
around 80km so we decided to have a look at on the way down. So back in
Slovakia we visited Malacky which added another 7 to the log |

Again back in the car and on the motorway to Bratislava, Seen on the map
near the main airport was another airfield so we decided as we had the time
to have a quick look |
|
|
|
BRATISLAVA VAJNORY 07-10-07 |
|
|
|
I think the only word to sum this place up is "Closed", nothing there at all
totaly gone. So it was back to the main airport to drop off the car (Now
with 1500km more on the clock) check in, have a Beer and come home. |

All there is to say if what a fantastic trip we got 146 Mig-21,s in just
over 2 days and the total number of aircraft seen was Lots .
My thanks must go to Phil and Andy and our Pilot for the over flight at
Papa. Looking at the log i think it works out at |
|
|
|
Military aircraft seen 300 |
|
|
|
Civil aircraft seen 105 |
|
|
|
Around a grand total of around |
|
|
|
405 in just over 2 days of which i guess 80% were new to all
three of us , Roll on the next trip |
