The early Czech aviator Jan Kašpar flew from Pardubice to Prague on May 13, 1911 in a Blériot XI, It was the first long-haul flight in Central Europe, the distance of 120 kilometers was covered in 92 minutes. This display at Aviatická pouť Pardubice 2022 was a worthy homage to those pioneering times. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
