Hungarian Air Force - Flying Display

Main theme of this years airshow at Kecskemét is the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Air Force. Following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1918, a small air arm was established operating surviving aircraft from Hungarian factories and training schools. This air arm became the Hungarian Red Air Force under the short lived Hungarian Soviet Republic, but was disbanded upon its downfall. Under the Treaty of Trianon (1920), Hungary was forbidden from owning military aircraft. However, a secret air arm was gradually established under the cover of civilian flying clubs. During 1938, the existence of the air force (Légierö) was made known. The air arm was reorganized and expanded. And the Hungarian Air Force was born.

During the morning most of the Hungarian aircraft performed their display. A few of them nice paint job. One of the main reasons for me to go to Kecskemét was the flying display of the Yak-52's, as I missed them last year. This year they didn't perform at all during the Saturday show, which was very disappointing.
