I was unable to attend BIAS without taking a photograph of the cockpit of this impressive vintage aircraft, an Antonov AN2. The retro nature of the cockpit is truly remarkable, and while there is a 'do not touch' sign in place, it is highly unlikely that any aviation enthusiast would refrain from touching it. I had the pleasure of attending BIAS 2024 with Robert Dumitrescu, Luca Radulescu and Andrei Ursei, and I would like to express my gratitude for their invaluable assistance.I had the opportunity to speak with Tudor Sava, a close friend from Brasov who shares my passion for airplanes. He informed me that the majority of the aircraft present at BIAS were from Aeroclubul României a fact with which I concur. This is the last picture of BIAS 2024 that I have published on JetPhotos, as I did not find the air show particularly inspiring, preferring instead to focus on the atmosphere and socialising with friends.I prefer to take pictures of large airplanes at airports, as I have done in locations such as Rhodes, Istanbul, Vienna and Hanoi.
