Rare Helicopter Formation Flight | Ka-26, Cobra & Hungarocopter – Budaörs 2024

Helicopter formation flight at the Budaörs Airshow 2024 featuring a unique lineup of classic and modern rotorcraft. Rare multi-type formation including Kamov Ka-26, Bell AH-1 Cobra, Bell 206 JetRanger, AS355 TwinStar, Robinson R44, and the famous Hungarocopter. The 2024 Budaörs Airshow once again proved why this event is one of Hungary’s most beloved aviation gatherings. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, close proximity to the aircraft, and a strong mix of classic and modern aviation, Budaörs offers a unique experience for both enthusiasts and the general public. The event regularly features rare aircraft, warbirds, helicopters, and aerobatic performances, making it a must-visit for aviation fans in Central Europe. One of the highlights of the show was this spectacular helicopter formation flight, where all participating helicopters took to the sky together at the same time. Seeing such a diverse group of rotorcraft flying in formation is extremely rare and requires a high level of coordination and pilot skill. The formation included a Kamov Ka-26, the iconic Bell AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter, multiple Bell 206 JetRangers, an AS355 TwinStar, a Robinson R44, and the famous Hungarocopter leading the group. The contrast between these helicopters — from Soviet-era coaxial design to modern light twins and classic turbine trainers — made this formation especially unique. The Hungarocopter, a Hungarian-developed experimental helicopter, led the formation, adding a special national touch to the display. Watching all these different rotor systems, engine types, and flight characteristics come together in one coordinated flight was a truly memorable experience.
