This Venom was on the static display together with an AH-1Z Viper, which was of course no coincidence as the Czech Air Force was to receive 10 of each at Náměšť air base, starting in 2023. The pair was traveling on a C-5 that was also put on static display. A toned-down version of New Orleans-based HMLA-773's Red Dog is on the rear engine casing.
