Memorial Air Show honours WWII veterans

Meanwhile, in the town of Roudnice nad Labem, some 80 aircraft from eight countries were presented to the public at a Memorial Air Show. Besides the B-52 Mitchell bomber, a favourite with spectators, the 15,000 visitors could also admire Jas-39 Gripen fighter jets or L-159 ALCAs (Advanced Light Combat Aircraft). This year, veterans who fought in the Second World War were invited as guests of honour. The event was ceremoniously opened by Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek.
