As of October 23, our Youtube channel has reached its first milestone. Almost exactly one year after its start, it reached one thousand subscribers. Considering how relatively small our target audience is, we are proud of achieving this goal.

The channel has regular updates on vehicle presentations, HKFW news as well as announcements of upcoming and reports of past events.

For all who have not subscribed yet, here's the link to the channel:

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.

As in the past nine years, we again attended the AirPower at the Hinterstoisser military airfield in Zeltweg. By invitation of the Military Aviation Museum we provided eight historic military vehicles and displayed the history of ground forces motorization over the last 70 years. A big shout-out to the whole team that supported the massive transportation efforts and ensured a professional appearance of the Traditionsverband at the biggest air show in Europe!

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!
