Back with the second day of our Mig bash, We left the hotel at 04-30 to drive back into Slovakia and do a museum in that country and then go up into The Czech Rep  for one there and a few other bits as well. After a very uneventful drive we arrived back to where we started for a quick look at Bratislava Airport in daylight.
BRATISLAVA 07-10-07
One of the reasons we returned here was to get the 2 stored Police  Mil Helicopters near the maintenance area and anything else we could see. The two Mil,s are stored out on the ramp and are easy to get from the viewing area at the side of the terminal.

Leaving Piestany and crossing into The Czech Rep, En route to Vyskov we passed an airfield with some LET-410,s on it, The slight snag was we were on a Duel Carriage Way and could not turn round to have a look, It turned out to be
KUNOVICE 07-10-07
A great pity we could not get there is a small museum there with around 13 aircraft in it. And the old Let factory has around 10 Let-410,s sored outside, Next Time for this 100%.
So we arrived next at the next museum and with no Czech money or Euros, But the guy at the gate let us in anyway as he had seen us going through our wallets trying to find some cash, All i can say is "What a Very, Very Nice Man"

Again back in the car and on the motorway to Bratislava, Seen on the map near the main airport was another airfield so we decided as we had the time to have a quick look 
BRATISLAVA VAJNORY 07-10-07
I think the only word to sum this place up is "Closed", nothing there at all totaly gone. So it was back to the main airport to drop off the car (Now with 1500km more on the clock) check in, have a Beer and come home.

Around a grand total of around
405 in just over 2 days of which i guess 80% were new to  all three of us , Roll on the next trip
