It’s the ex-PoF, Chino example.

Good to see these planes are finding a new home. 🙂

It’s a good move to delete this function. It wasn’t used often and many members didn’t even know what it was or how to use it. Maybe a new rating system (which will cause less unclear and emotional situations) will replace the old one.

I was at an airshow in France where there was also a static show of aircraft. Each aircraft had its plate with info. Behind the plate of the VL Viima stood the Focke Wulf 44 Stieglitz and the unique Viima stood after the plate of the Focke Wulf 44. This mistake was rapidly changed once I had seen this. :diablo:

PS: I didn’t change the positions of these aircraft. :rolleyes: 😉
PPS: The airshow comentator made the same mistake with these 2 aircraft during their flying display.

I have always liked the airshows at Ghyvelde in France. In the late nineties, they had 3 or 4 big annual airshows (the last one in 2001). But due to lack of public support (which resulted in financial problems), the event was resized during the last years into a small fly-inn. I find this a bit sad since they attracted great warbirds over the years such as Spitfires, Mustangs, T6/Harvards, Caudron, …

At the last eddition, the also had the fouga Magister, Antonov 2, Nieuport 17 and Junkers WWI repro’s, …

I felt a bit sad to see this show collaps.
