By Esther & Martin Scharenborg


 
  As usual, other NATO countries are well represented during airshows throughout Europe. Brno was no exeption to this rule.

Pictured above is a French Air Force Mirage 2000D from the Nancy-Ochey based EC-3 (Escadre de Chasse). It visited together with another Mirage 2000D CIAF 2004 in Brno. Picture: Martin Scharenborg / Global Aviation Review.

This German Air Force Tornado belongs to the Büchel based "Jagd Bomber Geschwader 33", and is seen here just after landing at the ramp of Brno. One aircraft was put on static display, and the other Tornado performed an impressive flying display.Picture: Martin Scharenborg / Global Aviation Review.

A total of two Royal Air Force Harriërs visited the CIAF. The aircraft above belongs to the Cottesmore based No. 1squadron. Picture: Martin Scharenborg / Global Aviation Review.
