Once we settled in the car, and the sat-nav found itself, we headed off for a quick circuit of BTS. Although we didn't see the stored Mi-8s this time as we had a busy schedule and had to get going.

Next up the first tin field of the trip, and ironically the first thing we saw was a British Cessna! The place was all locked up, but several hangars had easy to see through mesh doors. We looked around for someone but it was deserted. Until an old lady appeared and waved us back. Unfortunately she didn't speak English and our Slovak was non-existant, but we got the gist and moved on though she did let us snap those outside.

The next stop was Velke, for a MiG-15 (3914), but this had moved on recently. Still we'd catch up with it at Nitra.
Zobor was next on the list, and our first MiG of the trip. This was preserved within a military compound, so it was a quick read off and move on.

Nitra was a nice little surprise for us, we knew about the preserved aircraft. However the compound full of Cmelak's was a surprise for sure.

Moving on was to be one of the main reasons for this trip, Piestany museum. Unfortunately as we'd already found out a few weeks earlier is was closed until the end of September. But we had some hopes of seeing some of the aircraft.
We managed to read a few, but decided on not wasting too much time as there was still lots to do. Piestany will be revisited sooner rather than later for sure!
One or two flyers were also around, and the small aero club hangar was open.

After a long day, the hotel beckoned, as did the thoughts of a cold beer. After checking in we headed off to find some food and beer. We came across the Zelena Kocka (Green Cat) resturant/bar.
An English speaking guy at the bar named Libor, helped us with the ordering and recommended the ribs! Darren will testify to their quality I'm sure, me and JC went for a steak. The food was excellent and I would highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Brno.
The details for the restaurant are below. A fine meal and a good five or six beers later, plus a few whiskies courtesy of Libor. We called it a night. The bill for all this fine food and beer for the three of us was around 1500 Koruna, so around £36!
