It will be a great day when we will be able to see to Gladiators in the air together. The sound of these planes flying by must be TOP! Thanks for all those nice pics Andy!
I am glad you can enjoy it! Thanks guys. The camera I learn to use is a Minolta Dimage 7Hi. I never took any detailed photos before. Previous years, my father did most of the photo-work. I bought my camera last winter and started to practice. I don’t think it looks bad.
Nice tailwheel indeed AW.
Greets,

If I take some more pics during this year, I will post them in this tread. If someone should have pics of this group, they are welcome here.

To close for now, a pic of the Legends in front of the tower of EBKT for refueling and some pics of the planes during the taxi back to the hangar:
Greets,

The problems with the Stearman where solved so it could join the formation for this trip. Here are some pics:
Next one to land was the unique flying finnish VL Viima:
And now two photos of the Moth. On the second pic, you will notice that the grass had recently been mowed at EBKT :p .
And the SV4d. This was a acrobatic SV4 which was built with a 180hp Lycoming engine. This gave the SV4 a power boost. Some SV4c where converted to SV4d status for this reason. Also the maintenance of the Lycoming engine is more easy than the Renault engine.
Second in line was the SV4c OO-LYR which is flying more frequently now. It was not very active during 2003 due to engine problems but it has been flown more during the last months.
And now in the planes during their landing:
First that came in was the Morane:
Are we still going on about this? The guy made a mistake, it’s pretty obvious. Thankfully he lived to learn from it. Some don’t.
Let’s move on, chaps.
Thanks Daz, that is also the way I think about it. Sorry crazymanier that you take it so personal. It was not my intention and I just wrote how I feel about this.
As trumper said, it was just a very dangerous move and hopfully the (probebly very good) pilot can learn from this.
Peace to all you guys.

I don’t think so. I don’t like the winning song. It was not my favourate. I thought that a 5th place for this song would be right. I don’t believe it will be a great hit.
Its all pollitics. Here in Belgium we got almost the same feeling as the people in the UK last year. We got a total of 7 points (5 of these came fome our dear NEIGHBOURS the Netherlands) If that isn’t a lovely gift from our superb friends from the netherlands. I am glad we got those 5 points, but it doesn’t feel right.
And Belgium gave 12 points to Turkey. 😮 Sorry, but that was a bad song.
Yes, I enjoyed seeing the contest :rolleyes: .
What a lucky guy. He should think twice before he flies another display.
Also see the official link of the event:
Nice shot of the B25 Roger. Good to see it was the redbull B25.
Thanks Roger. Do you have some more pics oldtimers (for example of the connie, B25, …) who flew at Berlin. That would be nice.
