Aircraft Known to be Involved: 3 aircraft and one glider |
Details:
- Organized by the Skrunda branch of the Latvian Aero Club and the local branch of the Aizsargi.
- This was the first aviation performance to be held in Skrunda and the first time an aircraft had
ever landed in Skrunda. Note: Latvijas Kareivis describes the venue as "Skrundas aerodrome",
near the Kaupinu property, so presumably the location was not selected just for this, single event.
- In addition to the usual aerial performances, a limited number of spectators were also given the opportunity to
take a ride in an airplane, and the show was followed with a concert by the 1st Liepaja Infantry Orchestra.
- It is estimated that the event drew approximately 3,500 spectators.
