Kbely Air Museum Revisited

The Kbely Air Museum in Prague is a large collection that is a “Must do” if you’re in the Czech capital between May and October.

I’ve visited it several times and have had an article about it on the website for a while now. My most recent visit was in July of 2026 and it gave me the opportunity to refresh the pictures and make a few adjustments to the text.

Updated Kbely Air Museum article

Aside of the Kbely article, I’ve also updated a couple of others.

I’ve updated the Tupolev Tu-143 Rejs article to include information about its use in the war between Russia and Ukraine as well as in the Middle East.

I’ve also returned the article about the Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker to the 1900-1919 section of the website. This was one of the earliest articles on the website and I removed it in order to thoroughly revise and expand it so it would be up to scratch with more recent articles

I hope you’ll enjoy the updates as much as I enjoyed making them.

Buzzing Behind The Scenes

Posted on by Kevan V

In early April of 2026, my visit to the excellent air museum at Berlin-Gatow in Germany gave me the chance to make a significant update to my existing article on it.

Since then, I’ve taken the time to update some other existing articles on the site.

In connection with the museum visit, I’ve updated my articles on the Breguet Atlantic and Canadair Sabre. The Atlantic article got all new photos and a light edit to the text. The Sabre article got a couple of new photos and a substantial re-formatting of the text.

More unexpectedly, I was able to make extensive changes and expansions to my article on the Antonov An-2 “Colt”. It was one of the older articles on the site, and increasingly not up to scratch with more recent ones. In early May of 2026, an An-2 flew into my local airport and that gave me the inspiration I needed to give the article an overhaul.

As always, I hope you enjoy the updates as much as I enjoy making them.

Berlin-Gatow Revisited!

A Decade of Changes

In early April of 2026, I visited the aviation branch of the Museum of Military History of the Bundeswehr in Berlin-Gatow.

It was my second visit to the museum, the first being in 2016, and a lot has changed in 10 years! In fact, enough has changed that I had to make some significant revisions to my existing article about it.

Please pay a visit to the revised article to see what’s new at this excellent museum.

Big updates to two articles!

Posted on by Kevan V

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve made major improvements to a pair of articles that have been on the website since the early days of it.

The first is the Soko J-22 and Avioane Craiova IAR-93 article. The upgrade includes new photos and text revisions that include new sections.

I also expanded the Aero Ae-270 Ibis article. The upgrade includes more pictures and new sections.

I hope you will enjoy the improvements as much as I enjoyed making them!
