After the end of World War II, negotiations were held to acquire modern fighter aircraft, both jet and propeller-driven. Of the propeller-driven aircraft, there was great interest in the Spitfire MK.XVI and Tempest Mk.V. The negotiations were successful and ten aircraft were promised to be delivered. The coup in February 1948 ruined everything, but the first three aircraft had been delivered before that. Assembly and repairs were carried out by Avia Letňany, where a refit was also carried out in the early seventies. The last two aircraft served with the SNB highway patrol, then were stored. In 1989, they were reactivated and used against demonstrations. For the first time on 21.8.1989, and then on 17.11.1989, they patrolled Národní třída. One aircraft is currently on display in the Technical Museum in Brno.

This year, permission was finally granted for the construction of a second - parallel - runway at Prague's Ruzyně Airport! The new runway project fits perfectly into the concept of connecting and calming traffic in Prague, so it was necessary to make several compromises. The runway is crossed by a tram line, which quickly, within 40 minutes, connects the airport with the Veleslavín metro station. The second tram line leads from nowhere to nowhere, and is, according to municipal officials, prepared for the future expansion of the airport. Of course, a bicycle lane is also reserved at the edge of the runway, to make the airport easier to access for cyclists.

Luftwaffe is testing a new platform for trash collection. These flying containers were created on basis of request WTD 61 to address tighten security measures.
This platform eliminates entry of garbage collection workers to enter the base as they fly garbage outside the base themselves.

Flying Museum Seppe. The origin of this airplane has been lost. It is estimated that it was built in 1943 or 1944. During the war this Stinson served in Italy, where it was left when the war finished. Between 1949 and 1954 it was used by the Aeronautica Militare and later by Aéro-Club d'Italia. After that it was in possession of several private owners. The restorer and the previous owner attributed this Stinson the serial 42-98491. This number originally belonged to an aircraft of the American 337th Field Artillery Battalion/88th Infantry Division known as the "Blue Devils" based in Gorizia, Italy.
