This airfield was the base of Hungarian Air Force courier helicopter unit. After the unit broke up around 90’ the the base became a hobby airfield with small ultra light aircrafts.
On the airshow people can see a lot of demonstration flights from helicopters and planes. On the airshow regular performer Peter Bessenyei, Zoltán Veres with plane aerobatics and Lajos Imreh with helicopter aerobatics.
During the day visitors can try choppers and planes in passenger flights. This Mi-2, owned by HeliForce Kft, is involved in almost every Hungarian airshows, and some airshows in abroad, and makes unbelivable helicopter aerobatics shows.
Heliforce Ltf. operates with one PZL-Świdnik Mi-2 helicopter. They use the helicopter for agricultural, weight lift, rescue and transport flights. This aircraft's prototype was the Soviet designation V-2 from Mil helicopters, than the project was transferred to Poland in 1964.
The Mi-2 was produced exclusively in Poland, in the WSK "PZL-Świdnik" factory in Świdnik. NATO reporting name Hoplite, is a small, lightly armored turbine-powered transport helicopter that could also provide close air support when armed with 57 mm rockets and a 23 mm cannon, but it is used in civil air taxi, agricultural flight and air rescue.
If Mi-2 is quite heavy and the engines are not so powerfull, it is very manoeuvrable and beautifully flyable. Thats why this type won the Helicopter Demonstration Flight Championship repeatedly.
