Blue skies, spinning props and endless green canvas!

Have you ever seen a plane like this before? Chances are that you have not, because there is only a handful of these left in the whole world! This is the Aero Ae-45S (yes, the same Aero known for the L-39), a 70-year old airframe, that got damaged 1988 and sat almost a decade before a pair of enthusiasts took it under their wings. Cue the lengthy restoration process and this plane took to the skies over Estonia in 2024! Recently I had the honour and privilege to partake in a special Air-to-Air mission to capture the beauty of this aircraft and the incredible work the small circle of owners have put into this wonderful retro-futuristic piece of ART!

Red Bull gives you wings... and apparently, a complete disregard for gravity to go with it!

Aaron Fitzgerald pulls the Bo-105 helicopter vertical and beyond to complete a backflip. Aerobatic shows are challenging enough to photograph but adding rotors to the mix makes it especially difficult to get a healthy amount of rotor blur combined with sharp fuselage.

Look at you. Climbing. Like gravity is just a choice to you, not a law. That soft v***r wrapping your wings like a delicate silk scarf and those afrerburners - god, you are practically bleeding fire.
You are putting on quite a show, even though deep down you are actually terrified of being seen. Every blended curve and jagged panel line on that airframe is meant to keep you hidden. Ok, I'll bite - who are you actually hiding from? Because we at the airshow love to see You.
