After 3 years, the Airpower was held again in Zeltweg. The 2019 edition can be considered a “complete meal”, showing aicraft from all eras of aviation.<\/p>\n

Inflight photos were takeng on friday, while I visited the static display on saturday due to worsening weather conditions (which was a fortunate choice, since many displays were canceled on saturday).<\/p>\n

The first one to take off was the Red Bull Bo 105 camera copter, which continuously flew (aparto from refuelings) to take aerial footage of the show
\n<\/p>\n

The airshow was opened by a short thethered flight of an hot air balloon dedicated to the Bundesland which hosted the show, Styria, “the green heart of Austria”.
\n<\/p>\n

The wake-up call formation showed the 2 main players of the airshow: Red Bull (which flew a DC-6) and the \u00d6sterreichische Luftstreitkr\u00e4fte (Austrian Air Force, which flew 2 Typhoons).
\n<\/p>\n

The Austrian aircraft company Diamond flew a formation with 2 DA-42, a DA-62 and a Dart 550 turboprop trainer, comparable to the Pilatus PC-21.
