A few days back, i had the chance to travel to Europe, this was a long delayed (for several reasons) trip i had and had also the opportunity to meet some of the CA old timer guys, must say pics speak a thousand words, so, i will spam with some:

The first guy i met as i arrived to Amsterdam was my master @logan4 and we made a visit to the Lelystad Museum, my first time watching up close with a MiG-21

A great trip you made Enoch, seeing so may CA members, wonderful to meet you and Lazslo and an honour to take you guys and Muesli through "my" National Military museum (I am a tourguide there)... Good to see Stary alive and kicking, we met at Cracow in 2019.  And a good thing too that you paid a visit to Aschwitz , very much part of our history........... Proudly wearing your El Salvador Tshhirt !!!!  Viva CA !!!!!!!!

Great trip. Happy that you enjoyed Krakow and the museum there.  

It is nice to see "my backyard" again, even in photos. Although it is painful to see that condition of aircrafts still deteriorates.

Interesting Travel Report. I have seen a lot of aircrafts but iv never seen MiG-21UM so i envy).Rare thing.  But I have seen Su-27 T-10-10 (ha-ha!) Nice sights of places you v visited and thats funny to meet guys. Watched photos with interest. German flying bomb V-1 impressed a lot. Thought its only on pictures and no one preserved in metal.

My photo of T-10-10. Pity i cant invite you cuz the city is occupied and who knows may be this aircraft is lost already
