This year's NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days will offer visitors another rarity. After 16 years, the Greek Air Force will present two Mirage 2000 fighter jet in a static display.

On the other side of the airport, away from the public displays, parked planes and helicopters. Waiting for their time to show off to visitors. They are carefully managed by a team led by Capt. Leona Hájková from the 26th Command, Control and Reconnaissance Regiment. As the coordinator of safety measures on the dynamic apron, she oversees strict compliance with the rules and precautions so that nothing happens to people or aircraft. Sounds simple, but what's behind this position? Has she found her favourite among the aircraft? And how does she remember writing the first monograph on the Air Force? We asked, Captain Hájková answered, and now you can read it.

This year's NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days will not be without the traditional large-scale participation of the German Luftwaffe. Visitors can look forward to a display of equipment in dynamic and static displays - giant transport aircraft, combat machines and a multi-purpose helicopter.

The second aerobatic group confirmed its participation in this year's NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days. It is the Croatian group Wings of the Storm, which will offer its aerobatic skills on six PC-9M turbo-prop trainer aircraft.

She is one of those people who is not in plain sight at the event - but you can see and read the result of her and her team's work. It's not just about writing something - it takes a lot of planning and coordination. And that she'll be in the Air Force at some point? No, that wasn't the original plan, but as she says, she's doing everything she once wished for. In the next installment of #HumansofNATODays, we spoke with Maj. Zuzana Sekaninová, Press and Information Officer at the Air Force Headquarters. 

At this year's NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days, a representative aircraft of the Belgian Air Force will be presented to the public for the first time in a static display.

There are people who have been to more NATO Days editions than most of the participants or even most members of the organizing team. Those people have become an inseparable part of the event. They are first to come in the morning and among the last to leave in the evening. You can see them on the rooftop of the staff building, you can meet them in the crowd. But you never see them on video - because they are the ones operating the cameras and capturing the atmosphere. In this part of the Humans of NATO Days series, we talked to Iain Campbell of the PlanesTV company. He and his colleagues provide the video footage for the live stream of the event or for the clips they produce.

Visitors to the NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days could see this aircraft over the Ostrava Airport in the past during the opening flypasts. This year, however, they will finally get to see it making its debut on a static display and theywill be able to see it up close.

In exactly six months, the gates of the 25^th NATO Days in Ostrava & the 16^th Czech Air Force Days will open and on that occasion we begin to announce the confirmed participants. The first of them is one of the most famous aerobatic groups in the world, the Red Arrows, which will dominate the skies over the Leos Janacek Ostrava Airport for the third time.

He dives to depths of 100 metres, but he's also drawn to the air. He's been on missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Hungary. You could meet him in the tent of the Police of the Czech Republic at the static display of the work of divers. What's it like to be surrounded by water on all sides? What do police divers most often look for? And what is the most fascinating thing about this job? This time we spoke with Martin Kučera, a police diver from the Department of Special Diving Activities and Training.
