I assume several people here would be interested in this event yet I didn't see a thread about it here yet.

Zeltweg in Austria will play host to another superb airshow on June 24-25. You can visit the Saturday (June 25) with the trips organized by militaryaircraftcollection for €85, making it very easy to go there. (http://airshowtrips.militaryaircraftcollection.info/index.php)

Given the sponsorship by the Austrian company Red Bull, performances by additional Red bull sponsored classic aircraft can be expected.

Looks fine to me, and a great chance to see the Draken perform in its natural habitat against a stunning mountain backdrop.

The list is not holding anything wich blows me of my feet untill now. Altough I have very good memories of this show in the past.

Perhaps it is true they have less 'spectacular' participants than previous editions, still, I'm going for a chance to see some Austrian airpower in front of the mountain.

Besides, I'll be pleased to see Team 60 again, it's been over 10 years since my last time.

We're not surprised about that are we?

Not specified whether it's flying or not.

Curious to see what that'll be like, if the weather cooperates at least
