My plans are
Fly to Vienna and drive to Graz on Wednesday
Is it worth stopping at Wiener Neustadt on the way for the PC-6's
Can you see anything from the outside.
Thursday at the Graz Museum (I have to check the days open)
If there only open on Sat and Sun,The weekend of Zeltweg
They will not get many people
Friday and Saturday Zeltweg
Sunday fly home

Pete,
probably not worth the effort at Weiner Neustadt for the Pc-6s, they typically turn up en masse at Airpower. In 2016 five of them arrived on the Wednesday mid-afternoon and even used the main runway (all too often less conveniently they use the grass one).

I'll be there for a ninth time at Airpower.

Only my 3rd Air Power doing wrecks and relics to...anyone know if the new replacement Croatian Mig 21 is on display at Zeltweg Museum yet?

> The F-86 Sabre will perform a dogfight with the Czech MiG-15UTi during the flying display.
> Unlikely to see Austrian C-130K in the flying display due to issues with fleet serviceability (cracks in the wings).
> Swiss Hawker Hunter, in tiger livery, rumoured to be in attendance. Not sure if flying or static.
> NATO E-3A Sentry due for static display.
Another information on FB by the Hunter operator states that the Tiger Hunter HB-RVV will be flying also together with Patrouille Suisse just like they have done at Zigermeet last week.

The PC6s are based at Tulln and not Wiener Neustadt. They occasionally use the latter for parachuting..
