Seen at the very informal fly in at the Oost Malle flying club
Star of the show was the Sikorsky S38 flying Yacht
Casualty of the show, this pitts was taxying when a bus wanted to overtake it on the taxiway.
Nobody told the busdriver that these taildraggers sometimes zig zag to see where they are going. A collision with the side of the bus was the result.
Enjoy

What, no pics of the Skyvan!!!??? Dammit, that was my favourite! Despite the Skyvan’s omission, seriously, the Ark was magnificent – especially doing touch and gos on the canal on Friday afternoon… And the guy who owns it – an absolutle gentleman 😉
Anyway, interesting pics and thanks for sharing… Sad to see the ding to the Pitts (the S38 also hit a hangar door Thursday night too, but only sustained a minor dent to the very tip of upper leading edge and was able to continue flying). I never even saw F-BULT – mind you, the aeroplanes were spread out quite a bit and I was doing other things (photos in a week or so all being well)…
