Classic Fighters Air Show

Various factors outside of my control have meant I have been unable to post any of my Easter Omaka photos here up until now.

Anyway – better late than never.

The weather over the three days was variable – fine and clear on the Friday, fine and windy on the Saturday and overcast with little wind on the Sunday.

This did provide some problems for each of the aircraft classes, but fortunatly there was no great disruption to the program.

For me, the formation flying of the WW1 aircraft was the highlight of the show. Eight triplanes (plus one D.VII) is not a sight you see very often! Do feel a bit of sympathy for Tom Sopwith, though.

After the massed formation broke up, we were treated to some lower-level flypasts.
