ZLIN  Z242L - TRAINER
The trainer looks very nice, and is used in larger numbers and in two types
As you see, rain was ours, but that's life.... one of the facts a photographer cannot change  
R
Though appreciated, it's the question how long these Zlin's will remain in service
 
Major Ales Stimec thinks ahead, what would suit the financial and political aspects best ?

BELL - JETRANGER 206
 
Reliable, quit, economical, for the small jobs. Observation, VIP's, you name it 
     
In the new hangars you can see that Slovenia proves to be on NATO standards 
 
We were treated on a flight with the Jet Ranger to photograph the fire fighting exercise
 
The helicopter is comfortable, and to be used on very tiny spots if neccessary
 
One last look in the hangars as we say more often: 'Like surgery rooms so clean !' Well done !

FLIGHT IN THE PILATUS PC-9
To write about it you have to fly it ! 
   
So our author Kees Otten got explained techniques, and he mounted the Pilatus PC-9 !
 
Instruction about how to eject just in case... and hoping for some sunny shots
 
But when zero-hour came, it rained cats and dogs again ubfortunately
 
Never the less: Give it a go ! Happy landing Kees !
 
The PC-9-ers get airborne, and air-to-air pictures are made ...
 
... and a fine view on the landscape is a treat. 
 
After flying over mountains and villages the runway is in sight and the PC-9's have touchdown...
 
... meanwhile the photographers had a look at the maintainance hangars.
