For so long i was trying to convince my friend Capt. José Costa to fly Bruno's Zlin! Today was the day, here they are departing runway 05 to a acrobatic session, unfortunately the clouds were too low, so they went to outside the field area, so no pictures (the only ones that i took, are in José Costa camera) :S...

Very nice catches for this day, specialy the Aviocars: the one with the MAD wich is very uncommon around here and the approach of the other one.
