Dear friends,
Everybody, who is waiting for the next building report of the Willys Jeep, I have to disappoint. Normally I build on the weekend and on Monday I'm posting a new report, but this weekend it was impossible, because there was very much activity in Austria. The half of the country was on the way.
On one side there was the 'Airpower 05' in Styria, Zeltweg, an airshow of superlative (the biggest in Europe), visiting by 250.000 people. Good pictures are at:

My favorites are the pictures of the Me109.
On other side there was the 22nd 'Isle of Danube Festival'. This is the greatest Open Air Festival in Europe and certainly one of the biggest (and first of all most peaceful) in the world. Some facts:
22 stages
6,5 km festival arrea
More than 2.000 artists and interpreters
3 million visitors in 3 days
Friday and Saturday was very fine tropical super-weather.
Sunnday was a little raining, but not very bothered.
I've forgot to say that the entry is free! 8)
Everybody, who is in the near of Vienna at end of June, should look at this festival, which is very peaceful. There were only 800 assignments of the aid-men, mostly for reason of problems with circulation. Hardly any police assignments.
Next week I will continue my building report.
Nice greetings
Josef
