Remarks: Polish-built Mi-1, the first Soviet helicopter produced as series model. It was powered by a piston engine and mostly used for utility purposes, like this unit that was a Czech rescue helicopter with a stretcher outside of the main fuselage of the aircraft.
Remarks: The Let L-410 was developed in Czechoslovakia in the 60s as a short range light transport (MTOW 6,5 tonnes) and became very popular at the East block Air Forces, and also with civilian operators with 19 seats configuration. Today the type remains in service after >1100 units were produced. This unit served at the Czech AF and is now shown at Prague Kbely museum.
Remarks: This former military trainer aircraft taxies to the 900-meter runway at sabadell. This was a very rare visitor at Sabadell where mostly propeller aircraft operate. The Aero L-29 was a Czech jet trainer produced during the 60s and 70s and popular at East block countries' Air Forces, today a few survivors like this unit belong to private owners.
