Thanks for sharing Ozzie........Arn't they beautiful A/C...................God I miss flying our lovely "Old" Blanik..............So sad to see her with her wings all folded up and "Mothballed" at the far back of the Club hangar!

 

That take off would have taken some organising and I was LOL at the ground crew "Bolting" very smartly off the runway at 90 degrees!...........What a beautiful formation they made..............By God that tug had some grut to.

Although the rate of climb was, ummm, a bit ordinary. Would have been interesting being #9 below everyone else, getting a real close up of the trees (and buildings) passing by

Some seaching for a bit of clean air from the guys down the back. Tug looked like a Thrush, what are they? close to 900hp?

At the start of the clip, it lists the tug as a Z-137T (Zlin). Google says 520hp Walter 601 turbine.

 

Odd side note... It was developed from the LET Z37, so they kept the whole formation in the family (sort of)

Looking at the rate of climb, its a good thing that the Earth is round!

performance.

 

Nothing to spare. I suppose if there had been they would have done 10. Nev
