Back again after yet another good trip out into Europe, The trip was centred around an air show and base tour (or two sort of) and was driven instead of the usual "Fly Drive". We set off a week last Friday and drove thought the night only calling at Brussels during the dark hours of the night for a quick look at the Abalag area at the airport but when we called at a service area for a Coffee on the E-40 near Oostende we noted a Gyrocopter on a car trailer.

 At last it was getting light and we were in Germany just South of Köln so it was museum time soon and the one we had planned on was well South of Frankfurt so we pushed on
 
 Nidereralteich 26-06-09
 
A very nice modern museum with everything inside and very well presented, the museum was closed at the time of our visit but the building has an all glass front and viewing the contents is very easy. The web site is www.f-104.de . Noted here were
 
"425" 22+77 MiG-21 Real id
1874 MiG-21
"22+30" F-104 Real id 24+49 and is a nose section only
23+73 F-104
26+53 F-104 No skin
??+?? F-104 Nose only in Grey
 
25+05 F-104 was not noted but is in EMOOS so has it gone or is it the nose section above ?
 
 Back on the road and still going South East until at last we made it to the air show, Zeltweg in Austria was the target and we arrived around 10-30 not a bad time to get down to this part of the world by road.
 
 Zeltweg Air Power 2009, 26-06-09
 
It's the third time I have done this show and it has proved to be good each time in the past with a lot of Austrian helicopters and aircraft, This show was not as good as the past one,s (Only my opinion) it seamed to lack foreign visitors the credit crunch may be to answer but never the less there were a good number here to look at and log. Now the reason for the name of the trip, Andy had come from work and had not got changed so he was in his work suit and had not put any shorts or jeans in his bag so was walking round the show in Ben Sherman suit trousers, Trainers and a t-shirt was the dress code for the day for him so "It's the wrong trousers" trip name was born and a few good laughs were had at his expence.

In a "Yard" near the base were two L-39 unflown fuse's

The MiG here was seen from a Crash gate near the end of the runway but it was not in sight when we visited, We were told it was in a HAS but only two trucks were seen here, Next time for this on me thinks. A thought is, Were we at the correct end of the runway ? but the GPS said we were. Who knows ?.
 
This ended the day and it was off to the hotel for the usual beers, fodder and kip
