Are the participants for the static show known? I sure hope for a couple of Migs and helicopters honestly

This is not an airshow but a local open day. I would not expect much when it comes to external visitors for static or flying display.

Expect a pair of each based type (PC-9, L-39, Zlin) flying. Static will consist of around three aircraft towed from the technical school to the airfield and with fences placed around them. Aircraft flying will be parked next to the static.

Also; access only to the airfield part via the eastern gate. No possibility to visit the barracks to see preserved aircraft and such. You might be able to read off some more L-39s parked outside (covers permitting).

To photograph flying aircraft with the sun behind, you will need to leave the base to find a spot in the approach.
