Nice flying eno

The Zlin which you say was manufactured around 1970 almost looks like a single seat modified Chipmunk.

Do you know if the Zlin was used for military or by civilian flight schools.

Very nice looking aeroplane...Thanks for posting it

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

@eno:

Try PixResizer,it's free and quite good,but not as good as Photoshop.

@Doug: The Zlin 526 was used for both civil and military training and it was the best aircraft for aerobatics in the 1960s, until the Pitts and Aerostars came up.

Some nice shots there. I downloaded that plane but I haven't had a chance to fly it yet.

I use Corel Photohouse 2.1 for image touch up. It's good and easy to use but it's not free. It came with my office pack.

Try looking through the iFDG "Ultimate Freeware List". There are links there to some really interesting programs and utilities. You might just find a decent photo editer there.
