Warbirds - old military aircraft

Airliner and other large aircraft

In this category you'll find the "real" aircraft: High 'n heavy, flying so high you can them bareley see, heading their contrail up in the blue sky. Nearly everybody did fly in such a bird. Here we show some other perspectives of them.

Special aircraft

A very special position in the world of aviation do have the special aircraft, highly specialized designs like fire fighters and crop duster. They do handle tasks that don't seem possible to accomplish for aircraft.

Helicopter

Helicopters fascinate. They can stand still in the sky, start land at every place. This not so old invention has taken over some important functions: Rescue, flying crane, or flying just for fun.

Meeting Aérien La Ferté Alais

La Ferté is a small place and an aerodrome in the vincinity of the small city of Cerny, some 30km south of Paris. And it is the home of the Collection Jean Salis. Once a year, at the Whitsunday weekend, a great airshow is organized, which shows aircraft static and in flight from a Louis Blériot's days up to recent types. It's everytime a great fun to be there.

ILA Berlin

The ILA (Internationale Luftfahrt-Ausstellung) has one of the oldest traditions. It started originally at Berlin Johannesthal, then moved to Hannover and finally came back to Berlin-Schönefeld. It is one of the major trade fairs of the Aerospace Industry, but it still has got a kind of "cozy" character, so it is everytime a great joy to join.

AirVenture / Oshkosh

Oshkosh is THE ultimate airshow on the world. Oshkosh is simply the name of the town and the airport, where the EAA AirVenture and convention takes place. The airport is the home of the EAA - Experimental Aircraft Association - and therefore houses this event. The AirVenture is held once a year around August. Some 15.000 (in words: fifteen thousand) aircraft participate and may be a million spectators. Aircraft of all categories, and if you ever wanted to take a seat in a B25 Michell's Cockpit, this is the way to do fill your dreams.

Aérosalon du Paris / Le Bourget

The Aérosalon is the Aerospace trade fair of the Grande Nation. So the majority of the show is french, but other nations do have their share, too. This is the place to study latest Russian aerospace technology outside of Russia. The show is every other year, alternating with the ILA Berlin.

Hahn in Motion

This is a classical airshow which is held every year at the airport Frankfurt-Hahn, which is know to the commuity as the former Hahn US Air Force Base. The management tries to show something very special on each show and here's very often the opportunity to get a flight in a Warbird like the T28 Trojan or the british Jet Provost.

NATO Tiger Meet

The NATO Tiger Meet is a normal military exercise, but all the units participating have flown the F 5 Tiger (that's where the name comes from) or have any kind of predator in their sign or name. Special is, that nearly each unit sends a bird in special colors so there's quite often rare pieces of real flying artwork to be seen. One day is usually designated the "Spotter's day", so "normal" beings can enjoy the breathtaking aircraft, too.
