The organizers of the 4th National Aviation Days, which will be held at Piešťany airport on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th, May 2010, are committed to keeping the well-established tradition alive, and have prepared for the visitors an interesting programme, involving foreign pilots and aircraft. In line with the previous years, when the organizer did his best to make the static and dynamic demonstrations as attractive as possible, even this year the programme will be supported by the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic. Our best intention is to offer to the visitors of the National Aviation Days a captivating programme in an attractive environment. Moreover, this experience will be reinforced by a variety of side events and high quality services available at the airport during the two days.
Besides displaying the equipment fielded with the Slovak Armed Forces and demonstrations of Slovak military personnel, the programme will also feature demonstrations by police and rescue services operating under the Interior Ministry, as well as those by civil aviation agencies, with foreign participation. Among the invited performers are Su-35, Eurofighter Typhoon, Gripen, Tornado, E-3 Sentry (AWACS), F-16, Mirage 2000, Jak-3U, Polikarpov Po-2, Lisunov Li-2, Tatra T-101.2, Orlik aerobatic team, Flying Bulls Aerobatic Team and others. The world-renown aerobatic pilot Zoltána Veres is expected to participate, too. Moreover, there will be a simulated attack on a recently renovated armoured train from the WWII era of the Slovak National Uprising.
The 4th National Aviation Days will be dedicated to the most successful Slovak fighter pilot in the service of RAF, Otto Smik, and will mark the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII and the 130th anniversary of Gen. M.R. Štefánik’s birthday. The organizers are looking forward to meeting the visitors at Piešťany airport.
See you on 29 and 30 May 2010 in Piešťany.
