CroAF Open day at 91st AB Zagreb

Today, the 91st airbase Zagreb held an open day.

The weather was nice for flying, but my not-so-good digital camera isn’t good enough for flying shots, here are only some static display shots.

Almost the entire CroAF was present, and the small and non-advertised nature of the event meant that some rules were not strigently adhered to – the Mig-21 and PC-9 flying demos were (in part) over the crowd.

Also shown were a Mi-8 almost at the end of the 600h check and an completely unbuttoned Mig-21 Bis in for the 100h check.

Antonov An-32B – CroAF has two on strenght, recently overhauled.

Pilatus PC-9M – about 20 on strenght

Mig-21 Bis Hulk – This is an non-overhauled example, obviously used for training ground crews. At the open day, it was used for a firefighting demonstration.

There’s a bunch more, and I’ll lighten them and resize at a later date.

Cheers!
