Blue Bird Anniversary

 
 

Dear customers,

Today marks exactly 100 years since the return of the famous Aero Ab-11 aeroplane from its historic flight across Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor. The ‘Blue Bird’, registration L-BUCD, was the first Czechoslovak aeroplane to fly across the sea.

To celebrate this anniversary, we have prepared a short sale of kits and sets connected to the Aero company, which you can purchase with a 30% discount. The offer starts today, July 23, 2026, at 16:00 and ends tomorrow at 23:59, CET.
Please note that this discount will only be visible to customers that are registered on the website and logged in. Available until sold out.

List of Aero kits and sets can be found HERE

If you’d like to find out more, you can read profiles of both pilots here in the manual

The newly restored Aero Ab-11 is the highlight of this year’s season at the Kbely Aviation Museum, which we highly recommend you visit.
