It is not only my credit, guys!
This year’s (fifth annual) FLYING RHINO was the hugest military event we ever made before. Rhino consisted of five big events, and the number of military flights was the highest we have noticed since the exercise is organized.
Furthermore, Flying Rhino became international, this year! First time, the foreigner virtual air forces accepted your invitation, and participated in the exercise. I would like to thank all members of virtual Royal Netherlands Air Force very much! They took the exercise very seriously from the very beginning. Guys, I always appreciated your enthusiasm and precision flight art. I hope you enjoyed it and you come again. You are always welcome!
Special thanks to Emiel E., the Datch ATCo who provided PAR in Měřín this Sunday evening.
From the team of organizers, I simply must thank:
- Pavel Brodský who as the civil employee always supported all events either by preparing discrete missions or by supporting the events as ACC controller,
- Lukáš Krasňan who helped very much with the promotion abroad,
- Zdeněk Linhart who is one of the junior controller, however, helped us very much by being online and sharing his real world military experience,
- Jindřich Machalínek who though time press prepared scenery liveries and materials (always without any offence, and always by my craziest wishes),
- Jáchym Vohryzek, our dear director who as every year made one of the hardest work, prepared the sct file,
- and at least but completely not less Michal Janovský who prepares every year cooler and cooler (and either crazier) patches and banners.
For sure, I forget someone... (I am sorry)
As you see the team of participating people is not small. Even so, the organization of the exercise was on the boarder of manageable by its size, this year. We will for sure discuss the single experience we did, and analyze an approach to take for upcoming years.
The biggest credit is, however, yours, dear pilots (either Dutch or Czech/either military or civil). It would not work without you and we completely know it! We really very appreciate you found time to support all events and flew under any rules, with whichever aircraft and wherever in the Czech airspace.
Many thanks!
Two more remarks:
1) Don’t forget Sunday 09 OCT 11 “Home Coming Event”. Come to say goodbye our Dutch guests on their journey home.
2) Traditional awarding will be done in following days by our air force general-in-chief, Jáchym Vohryzek.
Best regards (sloužím lidu),
