+FLOGGER23 3,040 Posted October 7, 2022 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 Love at first sight! Many More planes seen that day Next day i met another long time friend @Muesli and went to met some places: And the next day, we had a very nice day, we mat @Derk and he kindly made a guided day on the National Militair Museum, 4 CA team members together! Later in the week we met @76.IAP-Blackbird and headed for Germany, no planes this time, but good plans (and stairs) and good times! After some (not much) days, i moved over to Cracow to met the final guy, our very @Stary and we were able to have some good time (eating pierogis) that night Next day, i HAD TO pay a visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau Museums And for the last day, we met again with Stary to go to the Lotnictwa Museum in Cracow, where i was a kid in a candy shop with so many MiGs, Sukhois and others around! All in all, it has been a hell of a trip, and, once again, i would like to thank you guys for making it to happen! And the saddest part of the trip... Thanks CA for the friendship!!! 23 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derk 265 Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) 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 !!!!!!!! Edited October 7, 2022 by Derk 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+yakarov79 10,990 Posted October 7, 2022 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. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazillius 1,256 Posted October 8, 2022 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 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
