LOVE the Catalina shots! 

But that Spitfire 'Mk XIV' must be a Mk IX or a Mk XVI. It's got a 4 bladed prop and it's Merlin powered, the XIV is Grffon powered and has a 5 blader.

Of course Mk XVI  , thank you for correcting 
it was also seen: JAS39D Gripen, Boeing Stearman, Harvard/Texan, Jak-55

Was the Aero L-159 Alca a long nose version or was it just the camera angle?

[karlik]

bad angle, maybe when editing image

Looks like it was a good show.

I was thinking about going, but NATO Day at Ostrava later this month, the base open day at Namest nad Oslavou early next month and not so good train service between Brno and Pilsen made me decide against it.
