After a several-year „time-out“ everybody was looking forward to the “AirPower 2016”, the major military aviation gathering on the “Hinterstoisser” military airfield in Zeltweg. For the first time, the Traditionsverband was invited by the Military History Museum to present historic vehicles as part of the Museum’s Zeltweg historic hangar and exhibition. Right in front of the museum we had our display with a Berliet as it had been used to tow 4 cm AA guns, radar or generator trailers, our Steyr Type 680 runway sweeper and the heavy Gräf & Stift carrier, used to transport radar shelters.

More than 300.000 visitors were counted during the two days of this year’s AirPower, and the HKFW display was a well-attended spot on the way from the museum hangar to the airfield.
