Lucky me will be in the DC.3… 😉
Thank you…
Thanks for these accurate figures ! I could fly my Stampe for ages (if only she had a Diesel engine :diablo: ) with what those Olympus would burn a single display.
Did you compute what sort of amount XH558 would burn during the kind of display she used to perfrom in the old days ?
Vulcan / fuel
Well, to get a rough idea, may be at cruise speed would be a good start ?
Your are really old school JDK… just so… British ! 😉
Pierre Duval is the guy to talk to for french Stampes.
Mine is n° 444 / F-AZUT and should fly in september.
Pink Lady finally got an insurance only the day before the La Ferte Alais airshow… that may be a partial answer to your question.
“Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber, the only flying example of this type in existence” … ????
Still going on… and progressing, judging by what I saw years after years during summertime…
TFC sending only one Mustang, and no Corsair. 5 planes is what has been agreed : Spitfire (either V or XIV), Mustang, Hawk, Wildcat and P-39.
Ray Hanna will live for ever and ever, as Mark will… in our hearts.
The one advertised by Didier Chable is not the one flying in France. It is a spare one still in Canada or the US.
It is a Le Bourget Musée de l’Air plane, not theirs… so don’t bother starting to play “Will it be at La Ferté” game !
Cub display
Despite what most of you think, the Cub display is a very well controled one, performed by Stephane Canu. It is a very well know act in France, called “Ademaï Aviator”. It is based on an early century film about a young fellow named Ademaï, just out of his farm, who wants to become an aviator. In one sequence of the film, he just hops in aplane and fly it… the best he can.
Stephane canu is a very skilled aerobatic pilot. His trajectories were clean, but you can not tell that from still pictures.
Was it a container arriving in DX or leaving DX ? (as one can expect both events to happen these days…)
looks like you are right. 😎
