Rising nice and early for the trip back down the mountains, the goal was to be at Zeltweg for 0700. Parking up, on time, it was now a long walk in to the show. Our main target here was to catch a few of the Austrian AF helis.

Well Zeltweg certainly lived up to expectations! Good access outside at the end of the runway for some landing shots as well. There was also a nice little outlet selling cold beer that hit the spot as the weather had turned out to be a scorcher.
The rest of the day had been left open so we just picked off a few on the way back to Vienna. First off, another Draken of course.

Next up was Graz. We had a look for the preserved J29 before checking our notes and realising it was the one stored at Zeltweg. That's why we couldn't find it. The museum was closed so just those outside were picked off.
