Veres Zoltan Hungarian national champion (above) and Peter Podlunsek Slovenian national champion (below) are flying their Extra 300 planes at an air show over the ex-military airport of Szentkirályszabadja.

The Extra 300 was designed by company founder Walter Extra. The design work began in early 1987, the first flight of a prototype took place on May 6 1988 and the production began in October 1988.
Engine: one 225kW (300hp) Textron Lycoming driving a three or four blade propeller.
Performance: max. speed 343km/h, max manoeuvring speed 293km/h. Range 974km.
Weights: empty 610kg, max. aerobatic takeoff 820kg, max takeoff 920kg.
Dimensions: wing span 7.50m, length 6.65m, height 2.62m. Wing area 10.4m2.

The airport as a military facility was closed a few years ago. Currently, there are efforts to convert it into a public commercial airport. Until then it is used as a venue for outdoor festivals.
The runway is just 3 km behind my garden.

Hello Laszlo,

I would like to commend you on this spectacular shot, in which you've captured a fleeting moment. As soon as I can free some room among my 'favorites,' I will adopt this extraordinary photograph. The composition and perspective are impecable, the colors and definition flawless. Warm regards from Virginia, USA.

Szia Laci!
Nagyon látványos sorozatot készítettél erről a repülős bemutatóról. Az időzítés nagyszerű, igazán parádés pillanatot sikerült elkapnod. A fotó minősége kiváló, bármelyik magazin javára válna. Gratulálok, és szép képeket Kívánok!

Szia László,
Nagyon jól sikerült a sorozatod a repülőnapról, közülük talán ez tetszik a legjobban.
Azért is, mert itt egyik gép sem lóg ki a képről egyik sincs takarásban. A részletek tiszták, élesek. Remek munka, gratulálok!!! (gondolom a felszerelés megvolt hozzá :D)
A jegyzet egyszerűen fantasztikus, minden igényt és kíváncsiságot kielégít! (olvastam a hozzászólásodat az árpádsávos zászlókról: igazán precíz munka, szerintem teljes mértékben tükrözi a valóságot; minden elismerésem!)
Minden jót,
Marci

Hello Laszlo.
Very well captured with excellent sharpness, light. colours and contrast. Good composition. Brave (or stupid!) men, but at least the must be very skilful.
