I can assure you there are no plans for 2014.

Yesterday the HUAF reached 10000 hours flying with the Gripen. The weather was very poor and the 12 Gripen diamond formation was prevented by the fog. Anyway...here are my pics from the event. http://kepfeltoltes.hu/131219/_MG_4241_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg http://kepfeltoltes.hu/131219/_MG_4247_www....

Yes I know it is a bit late, but my 2012 Best videos combined. All done around the Hungarian Air Force, 86. Helicopter Squadron:

Joint Hungary-Romania MEDEVAC excersise this year.

Every year a joint Hungarian-Romanian MEDEVAC excersise is held. This year it was opened to the press. The drill said that a An-26 was lost near the romanian border and the near by army garrison asked for MEDEVAC help. The main thing about this, that if it is needed the Romanians come to Hungary, or...

I think this had better happen not that often... :shock: :shocked!: The engine start during the Mi-17 happens in the beginning like this. Only a few seconds so you have to be very prepared. Tough not a big fire like this should hapen, I was told that if the heli is tilted a bit - because of the gro...

For those going on saturday, please take a baseball-bat of gummi bat along. Peace-activists want to stage a large protest at around 09.30, they want to form a human chain around the airbase. They expect thousands of protestors. But I can't imagine that enough protestors show up to do that. F...k th...

True...that is a civilian Mi-2, but it was under the Ministry of Home Affairs command. It was usually at reserve and/or transfering VIP's and scout flying around the dams.

The HUAF redeployed their small heli fleet to a civilian airport, that is near the main capitol. This is from yesterday, I arrived around 05:00 in the morning so I could take some departure photos. This is the 4th day of the aircrew working during the floods! http://kepfeltoltes.hu/130610/499936237_...

Yes...Hungary received two ex-Finnish Mi-8T in 2011, freely. And since the color scheme turned out to be "useful" in the country's terrain, no repaint was needed.

In Hungary the Danube is going to break a lot of records, and for that a lot of work is needed at the dams. The HUAF sent 4 helis (1 was as a reverse at Pápa AFB) to help. The pilots started their routine pre-check at 3 o'clock in the morning and started their work at the first sunlight, around 5. M...
