I found the information for this open day a day before the event. Till this moment I've planned to visit Nis AB on 26 May. There should be an Open day too.
Hopefully these events do not replace the open days in August.

Hi Falcon,

Fantastic pictures and even more fantastic aircraft but don't be fooled. Unfortunately the Serbian air force has only very flew aircraft in an airworthy condition (about 4 MiG-29's, 6-8 MiG-21's, the Orao's are grounded I think). The only types that are still active in somewhat larger number are the Super Galebs and the Gazelles.

But nevertheless, marvelous pictures of marvelous aircraft.

Regards, Paul

These are stunning pictures indeed. I guess most of us were not aware of this open house. I certainly hadn't seen it posted.
The date did ring a bell though...I went to the open house in Batajnica back in 1990 on Sunday, May 20.... My guess is that the Servs have a day to celebrate this period. Something to look out for in 2012?

The open day was a family day and they invited a limited number of photo spotters (9?).
The original planning was Ladjevci 19-5 and Batajnica 21-5, last week Ladjevci was
cancelled, the event moved to Nis and is now on at Thursday 26-5.

The 2nd of August event this year will be smaller than last year's.
They have little money, not a lot of operational planes and NEXT year their air
force will be 100 years.... so watch out for news on this one.

Anton, nice meeting you there and a very good set!
