For the second time, the Vienna Military History Museum (with its dependence Military Aviation Museum in Zeltweg) had invited the Traditionsverband to attend the 2019 „AirPower“ and present the ground-based part of Austrian Military mobility. Starting with the M4 High-Speed Tractor (which dates back to the vehicle park received from the Allied Powers in 1555), our Steyr 480, 580 and 680 trucks presented the „Classics“ of Austrian military vehicle production over five decades. Nevertheless – as already three years ago during the last „AirPower“ – our smaller vehicles (a Jeep Willys MB and a Puch Haflinger AP700) stole the show and (despite the bad weather conditions) were almost continuously roving the grounds shuttling VIPs.

Same as three years ago, the Traditionsverband will again be present at this year’s AirPower. By Invitation of the Vienna Military History Museum, on September 6 and 7 we will present historical Austrian Military Vehicles in front of the Aircraft Museum in Hangar 8 at the Hinterstoisser Airbase in Zeltweg. We cordially invite all our members and friends to visit us at this major Austrian flying event.
