Strizhi over Serbia

Maglovito i tiho oktobarsko jutro na aerodromu Batajnica. Ko bi rekao da se tokom cele predhodne nedelje ovde čula samo buka avionskih i helikopterskih motora. Još teže bi bilo naslutiti da će odavde za samo nekoliko sati, u razmaku od nekoliko minuta poleteti 7 Migova 29 i jedan Il-76…

Interesting afternoon at the Batajnica Air Base and a great chance to take some shoots of one of the last operational MiG-21 Bis „Fishbad“ fighters, or L-17 by serbian military terminology .

Realistični kolor crteži projekcija aviona, poznatiji kao “profili“, su sastavni deo svake ozbiljnije publikacije sa vazduhoplovnom tematikom. Sa ovim fantastičnim crtežima susreo sam se još kao klinac, prvo kroz časopise Aerosvet i Aeroplan, a onda i kroz razne druge publikacije. Kao neko ko crta avione bukvalno od ka zna sebe normalno da sam bio oduševljen ovim radovima, i da sam želeo da i ja jednog dana budem u stanju nešto tako lepo da nacrtam.

Prošlo je 70 godina od kako su pripadnici NOVJ i Crvene Armije oslobodili srpsku prestonicu od okupatora. Događaj koji svakako zaslužuje dostojno obeležavanje. Vojna parada “Korak pobednika” je upravo to i bila. Odlično uvežban defile, sa uglavnom starom, ali uglancanom tehnikom, i ponosnim vojnicima.

Koliko je politička konotacija celog događaja ogavna, toliko je sam nastup Vojske Srbije i sve što je predhodilo tome za svako divljenje. Vojska je pokazala da u besmisleno kratkom peridu može da se pripremi za jedan veliki događaj, koji obično iziskuje mesece planiranja i uvežbavanja. Angažovati 3000 vojnika, 300 komada razne tehnike, 40 letelica i ceo program izvesti po izuetno složenem meteo uslovima je za divljenje.

Par snimaka sa generalne probe vojne parade, zapravo nakon probe, jer na probu zbog posla nisam uspeo da stignem. Šta da vam kažem, sve ovo jako impozantno izgleda uživo. Više fotografija posle , nadam se posle 16. oktobra :)

Bamby on apron

September 14, 2014September 20, 2016 dicus 5 Comments

I have seen a lot of different animals inside the area of military air bases, but this one is the strangest so far. This young roe deer came from nowhere straight to the apron where MiG-29 fighters are located. The Bamby, as they call her, is a very curious youngster, which usually seems to be the case with all youngsters, except this one apparently loves airplanes. Even the sound of noisy RD-33 engines does not scare her. When the engine starts she just moves behind the safe line on the apron with the rest of the crew…Curious, but still very caution, she will come few feet from you but she will not let you touch her. The pilots and the ground crew from 101st Fighter Squadron “Vitezovi” (The Knights) take care of her every time she comes to visit them, which is on daily bases…

The Tigers

On the first day of the 1999 Kosovo War, while the bombs were falling onto Serbia, commander of 98th Aviation regiment, colonel Sreto Malinović, held a short speech for the pilots of 241st squadron “Tigers”, which will one day probably go into history textbooks. After the speech he sat behind the commands of one of the aircrafts and led the formation of “Orao’s” in action against the terrorist’s positions in Kosovo.

11. May 2013. – Open Day at Ladjevci Air Base [ 98. Aviation Brigade – Serbian Air Force]
My second visit to the 98. Aviation brigade in last 20 days…This time my plan was to come without a camera, just to enjoy in the flight program and chat with friends (and in same time to rest my shoulders from heavy equipment :) ). As usual at the last moment I decided to go with equipment, and I didn’t regret…

Batajnica Airshow 2012 : MiG-29 M2

April 26, 2013September 20, 2016 dicus 8 Comments

Jedna od zvezda aeromitinga “Batajnica 2012” i avion o kome se dosta piše u domaćoj štampi ovih dana. Informacije iz raznih izvora govore da je nabavka ovih aviona za potrebe avijacije Vojske Srbije sve izglednija, tako da je pravo vreme da podelim sa vama malo fotografija vezanih za ovu temu… Diskusiju oko toga da li će stvarno biti nabavljen i da li je dobar izbor ćemo zanemariti jer je u trenutku kada nema konkretnih informacija potpuno besmislena. Pre nego što pređem na fotografije ne bi bilo loše da razjasnim par stvari oko ovog aviona, pošto se dosta dosta pogrešnih informacija (naročito fotografija) pojavljuje u medijima.

Magic hour

Magic hour is term used in photography and cinematography to describe first and last hour of sunlight when the light produce extraordinary visual effects. However, if you are during that period of day at the military airbase and you are watching flying activities of 241. attack squadron, than it’s more than “magic hour” – it’s pure magic!

More than 200 aircraft from 20 countries, almost 300000 visitors, two whole days of flights, beautiful landscapes of Styria and much more… Austrian Air Force couldn’t celebrate the centenary in a better way. My impression: AIRPOWER 11 is the best airshow I ever attended. (more…)
