Good news for returning enthusiasts, ticket prices remain the same as in years before (adults: 3500 HUF, children under 14: 1500 HUF pre-purchased; +500 HUF on site), and they will be available everywhere, where lottery tickets are sold, and also at Ticketpro offices throughout the country.
One of the largest and most sensational air shows of Central Europe will honor the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Air Force with a static display of the aircraft used by the Hungarian Air Force, starting from the Po-2 Soviet biplane , through the Li-2 to the MiG-23 and MiG-29.
