Here I am back again after several weeks of work and a lot of things which have happenend during these days. When we decided to give this website a new look we alos had the idea of using a new software for it aswell. Due to this the ammount of work involved with this task became much more than we anticipated. But right now we are back again and I really hope that you will like to new look of my little website as well as I do it.

A lot of things happenend during the last few weeks, some good, some bad. One of the best news is that I got a new job, which is perhaps the most important thing to me. That way I will be able to continue my work with this hobby and that includes his website too. Perhaps I will not be able to spend such a lot of time with my hobby but this is something I can live with. Something bad happenend on August 23rd this year, when we had a catastrophic hailstorm here north of Salzburg. The little village where I live and 2 other villages were heavily damaged by hailstones of up to 5inch in diameter! It all lastet only 3 minutes but after that not only our roof was gone but almost every roof here in Buermoos. They are still fixing them and I'm afraid it will take another few month until all the damage will be fixed. Fortunately noone was hurt and the insurance company will pay for most of the damage.

I was able to finish a few more modeling projects during these weeks and I have visited modelshows and an airshow here in Austria during these weeks. Within the next few updates I wll post several reports about thiese events and I will also show some more photos of several other things which I really hope that you will enjoy.

So let's start with a little bit of everything. Here is part I of my own travelreport to Austria's biggest airshow which was held in Zeltweg/Styria, and 3 more parts ot come! so here is "Part I of the Airpower 2009"

From my own collection of models comes a tiny model which shows a seomewhat unusual aircraft (some of you will know that this is exactly what I really like) I call this little bird "Errol Flynn's ride" and from Erich Blaickners collection comes another Phantom (what else?), this time an F-4E in USAF livery.

Have fun with all these news and please come back again and enjoy them as much as I do. Keep on modeling, René Hieronymus
