Lovely stuff, but what’s all that ‘blue stuff’ above the aircraft? Where are the clouds?? Ooops, forgot this is not UK!!

TOP STUFF TURBO

Thank you Chris for sharing these top shot’s with us all 😀 , and thank ya mate muchly please too! 😀 .

Look’s like it was a top little show and fun stuff all round mate 😉 .

Cheer’s Chris, :dev2: Tally Ho! all far and wide Phil :diablo:

Yeah I saw that 🙂

Ah well, we shall wait…..

TNZ

See the announcement of the webmaster at the top of the historic forum. Don’t throw your pics away! 😮 I think you will be able to share them soon. 😉

Greets,

Well I have 4 pics of Cat’s I can contribute but they won’t upload here 🙁

Forget the Dakota, what about some more of the Catalina?

Can you believe that is the only Catalina I’ve ever seen flying, sadly it wasn’t in military colours at the time. I’ve been to about 25 airshows in the USA in the last 7 years, and not a single Catalina at any of them, nor have I heard of any Catalinas flying in the States. I don’t doubt that there are some, I’m just amazed how rare they are.

Cats are gorgeous aeroplanes. I was lucky enough to see Plane Sailing’s one at East Fortune one year (I think not too long before her mishap at Southampton), and instantly fell in love with them!

Haven’t seen one since, though! 🙁

Okay, I heard you say more….. 😀

How could I not include a pic of the Dak….
(and another P-40 one)

Turbo, there’s something wrong here….

NO SPITFIRES!!! 😮 😉

Believe it or not, Daz, there were no Spitfires there !!!

TNZ

Well there you go. That’s today’s ‘new thing learned’. Cheers Mike. 🙂

Turbo, nice shots mate, thank your mate for us please. 🙂

Just one question regarding the Messenger – Union Jack on the centre fin…? I don’t want to prompt the “it’s the owner’s aeroplane, he can paint it how he likes” brigade, it just looks a bit odd that’s all.

Turbo, there’s something wrong here….

NO SPITFIRES!!! 😮 😉

I’m sorry, I don’t see the problem here….. 😉

Thanks again for posting those excellent pics TNZ. I’m already looking forward to see some from next years event! :p

J.V.

Glad I could satisfy your “fix”, Martin.. 😉

Beautiful P-51…..

aaaaahh !

Thanks for that ! 😀

Martin

Do you chaps realise that this month marks 20 years since that P51D’s first airshow performance in this country. It is twenty years since Sir Tim Wallis set the warbirds movement in NZ alight. Amazing.

Every airshow I’ve been to it’s been there.
Truly a historic warbird in the NZ Warbird scene, let alone the real age of the beauty.

Defintiely last 2 tonight !!!!

American Iron……..

Thanks, Gnome.

Those high speed passes by the Corsair with the P-40 in hot pursuit were truly awesome…sorta stuff that makes you tingle all over 😀
