Already on August 31 we start our transport convoys to Zeltweg, where we will be representing the history of Austria's ground forces during the big AirPower air show. As in previous years, on September 2/3 we will again have our exhibits right in front of the entrance to the Military Aviation Museum. With wheeled and tracked vehicles from the last 70 years, we will "revive" Austrian military ground motorization, and our two smallest vehicles (Haflinger and Jeep) will again be in service as VIP shuttles across the whole airfield.

On May 12, the Army held an exhibition of historic and current vehicles in the center of Baden, some 30 km south of Vienna. By request of the Military Command Burgenland, the Traditionsverband augmented this presentation with several historic vehicles. Around a light Kürassier tank from 1971, we grouped vehicles from the last 60 years.

Together with the 3rd Reconnaissance and Artillery Battalion (AAB3), the Traditionsverband on July 9&10 presented "Historic Military Vehicles Offroad". Ten historic vehicles - covering the full range from Jeep and Haflinger all the way to the Kürassier light tank - were driven all over the "Totenhauer" proving grounds of the Battalion and provided our invited guests with an insight into the performance of Austrian military vehicle development over the last seven decades.

A big "Thank You" goes to to Battalion's PR team under StWm C. Luckner for the excellent preparation and cooperation throughout the event as well as to all members of the Traditionsverband, who "made it happen".

As usual, "After the Event is Before the Event" - we have already started our preparations for attending this year's AirPower in Zeltweg on September 2/3!

On May 12, the Traditionsverband participated in an exhibition of the Military Command Burgenland in Baden. The highlight was the road march from the old Martinek Barracks where the convoy assembled into the city center of Baden. A huge "Thank you" to the Baden City Police for the perfect escort with two bikes!
