Aviation Fair Pardubice in Pardubice
The Pardubice Aviation Fair began in 1991, marking the eightieth anniversary of aviation pioneer Jan Kaspar's historic 1911 flight from Pardubice to Prague, and ran for more than three decades at Pardubice Airport combining vintage and modern flying demonstrations with historical re-enactments. One recent edition relocated to Hradec Kralove Airport after the Czech Army declined to permit continued use of the Pardubice military airfield due to a temporary fighter jet deployment.
