[jrmrsdal]

thanks for the information again! Any information known which Mi-8s are stored on the platform? 215 plus two others were noted early September.

Sorry, I can’t help with those.

Thanks

Due to other trips and a drive to Slovenia today the only day I can make it is Saturday afternoon 1/10 no idea how it will go but worth a look as I also take civil

Sounds like some MO eagles through Lakenheath Monday afternoon which hopefully I will see as we are back Tuesday?

[slogen51]

Well slightly frustrating

Read off 164 Mig-21 in the hangar

5 Mil-8/17 out side on the ramp stored I guess with 3 Mig-21

Also the two AN-32 noted

ZTC

One of the ZTC hangar doors was open and a nose on Mi-8/17 could be seen
9A-ISC Do-28

8 Pa28 edit UTVA-75, 7 serials - they are UTVA-75 military trainers

Preserved Mig-21 102

Plus various wrecks that I might decipher from photos

Ta for the spotting info

Civil dumped at Zagreb
??? G2 no marks
??? C550 no marks

[Nighthawke]

Mike - Civil I know but to help your log, Planebase has withdrawn Gulf2 N4NR and C.551 9A-DOF.

Excellent thanks again

That was just a path finder trip , next time I am in Croatia and there will be a next time as it is a beautiful place and joining the euro and Schengen or Eurozone in 2023, I will spend a bit more time at Zagreb

In the light of the following post I probably won't be coming back!

[slogen51]

May as well add that shortly after I posted the above two Croat police types visited the hotel room in medulin, where we are staying which is about 170 miles from Zagreb and said I had been reported for taking photos of military aircraft at Zagreb. Luckily I was able to show that actually I only photographed with my phone a preserved Mig at ZTC which they said should be the end of the matter - I will find out on Tuesday when I try to leave the country!

I was only using binoculars at Zagreb but nonetheless someone reported me for taking photos so be warned. They found me of course through the car rental license plate.

I guess the region has had such a volatile history anyone behaving a bit differently is treated with suspicion

maybe just Some bad luck?
I spend a day around the field and around the terminal. And nobody cares about me.

[slogen51]

Any luck with the Mi-8/Mi-17 on the ramp?

Only read 215.
225 was in the hangar next to the hangar where the MIG21 164 was inside.

[slogen51]

Thanks

Same as my efforts

[slogen51]

As a foot note does anyone on here know the id of the preserved Mig-21 on a stick at the entrance to Pula airport?

Ta

[Andy Marden]

115

[slogen51]

Many thanks

ps A Swiss Cougar departed Pula as we were boarding at about 11:15z , looked like T-318 through bins

[Kevin Brewer]

Mike

ADS-B showing T-318 leaving the general direction of Pula as at 11.52 BST, heading west over Italy at present.

011
002
9A-DJL *edit
004
003
Plus one with 9A - number blacked out
