(25 May 1996) Natural Sound
Thousands of Bosnian Serbs turned out at Banja Luka airport for a show of military strength by the Bosnian Serb army and airforce.
The army paraded its latest military hardware and the airforce gave a spectacular display overhead.
None of the top Bosnian Serb leaders were at the parade.
Some 5 000 people, mostly residents of the Bosnian Serb stronghold
of Banja Luka, attended the parade and air display at their local airport on Saturday morning.
The parade commemorated Bosnian Serb Army Airforce Day.
On display was the latest airforce weaponry, anti-aircraft guns as well as helicopters and Bosnian Serb military aircraft.
Various planes and helicopters went through their paces including the Bosnian Serb army aircraft "Super galeb" or "Super seagull".
And to round off the display, the army's parachute unit showed off their skills to the crowd.
Conspicuously absent from the occasion were all the top Bosnian Serb leaders, some of whom are indicted as war crimes suspects by the International Tribunal in the Hague.
