Czech Republic and Slovakia

[dppintr2]

For this year's destination of our summer holiday we had set our eye to Romania. However, we did not get further than the border of the Schengen region We visited places in Slovakia and Czech Republic instead. It was an interesting trip. For example, I would have never imagined that we would back-track behind landing MiG-29s. Also we saw the finished Junkers F13 in Dessau.

That's cool. Always wanted to go to those countries. Lots of neat aviation stuff going on in the Czech Republic.

That looks a lot like the ship Rimowa brought to OSH in 2015. Be sure to copiously sample the local beers there. They are unquestionably some of the finest in the world.

Did you go to Vodochody? Or Mosnov? One of the biggest hangars in Europe to work on 747's. (that's why they had to expand the rwy years ago)

I flew to Vodochody a few years ago in a Saratoga. Cool and very GA-friendly airport, and the hangars are _massive_.
