Campia Turzii Open Day 29 July

Post by GoldenEagle » Tue Aug 01, 2017 12:03 pm

Had a blast in Romania last Saturday, visiting this MIG21 Air Base. Everything was possible, and lots of action for only a 3 hour airshow.

Anyway, the log is here; http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=132137

Excellent set, strangely likely the artillery shots.

Jos, what was your mount for the air-to-ground shots.

As other members have said, what a great set! The back drop on number one and sixteen and eighteen are a joy! Well done :clap:

Great set from a great location. Its a cracking base to go to and get up close and personal to some of the last European based MiG21s

Now that's a great set of images..... Green with envy ;)

No.9 is great ..... a bit of "jelly" and a front view of the great machine. Of course any of the MIGs deserve credit. Not for the type but for the shots!

Niall,

That would have been a Romanian air force Puma . You could get flights on them in the afternoon :)

Hi
Fantastic post
Is this an annual open day ? If so where can I find next years date?
Did you have to get permission to go in/photograph?
thanks

Thanks for all the kind comments guys!

The open day was only announced at the Facebook page of Campia Turzii, only 1 or 2 months before the event.
No charge, no security checks and you could photograph everything you want.
