Official photo-reporters of the NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days took not only pictures of the event's static and dynamic displays, but also captured a lot of other moments before, during or after the show. We would like to present you a few interesting pictures not quite fit for “regular“ news so that you get a little perspective also from the event's backstage.
This year's biggest participant - the Dutch KDC-10 tanker towering to more than 17 meters. Just to rotate its rounded a little bit and it will be like ours :-).
Moreover, the picture illustrates challenging arrivals and departures that completely fill up the skies over Mošnov.
