Rally at the quaint museum featuring a unique, reduced admission fee
The Air Technology Museum's annual festival in Rechlin, Germany, attracted a large number of visitors this year, with adults and children alike enjoying the various activities on offer.
Among the highlights of the festival was the special prize awarded at the event. The historic aircraft, a miniature Fokker D.VII biplane from World War I, designed by Michael Umkehr, was the star of the show.
Unfortunately, the exact nature of the prize and the criteria for winning it are not explicitly clear, as the museum did not release detailed information about the festival's prizes. However, it is known that the miniature airplane was given to the winners of the popular museum rally, where children had to solve exciting tasks.
Interestingly, the last model of the MiG-21 was taken out of service in Croatia last year, and a model of the aircraft is also on display on the museum grounds. It is unclear whether the MiG-21 model played any role in the rally or the awarding of the special prize.
The evening program at the Air Technology Museum was aimed at adults, with DJ "discoschumi" providing the music that continued late into the night. The dancing took place in the open air, specifically in the museum courtyard, and many locals and visitors joined in the festivities.
Looking ahead to next year, the Air Technology Museum has announced that a new airplane model will be the main prize at the festival. It remains to be seen what kind of aircraft will be on offer, but it is certain that it will have collector's value and add to the museum's extensive collection.
While the specifics of the Rechlin 2021 prize and future plans for the Air Technology Museum's festival remain somewhat unclear, it is clear that the event is a highlight of the aviation calendar and a great way to celebrate and promote interest in historic aviation.
Participants at next year's Air Technology Museum festival in Rechlin, Germany, can look forward to a unique 'home-and-garden' prize – a new airplane model that will serve as the main attraction. The winning model is expected to become a sought-after 'lifestyle' item among aviation enthusiasts, contributing to the museum's growing collection.
