The highlight however was a linked formation flight of a Bu133 and 131 in quite bumpy weather conditions, as performed in the late 30-ies by the national German aerobatic team.

This was a really excellently organized meeting with wonderful people and unique airplanes.

Verybest regards
Albertr & Elisabeth
