Herc with flares!!! Man I really wish a RNZAF one had made Ohakea. Maybe they would have done that there too. Can't say I've heard of a herc going a flare drop at an airshow before.

Been a bit slow to upload any photos, been flat out helping with the airshow book and getting next years calendar sorted and have caught up so will post some more pics soon.

Have been working on the show book with Jill, another two weeks and it will be off to the printer.
Still have to wait for Classic Wings and Kiwi Flyer to come out but here are a few more.

Thanks, we had the Fokker D.VIII and Camel up during the same flight very early on the Friday morning.
Was quite dark when we took off but as the sun came up it made for an amazing set of photos due to the amazing scenery.
We flew in a 206 and the pilot did well to stay nice and slow.

Pretty much still true, but here's why the P-51 takes it:

It's a shot of a Mustang... pilot!
And he's clearly enjoying getting the pony in the air.
Not an easy shot to think of getting, let alone make.
See, you don't have the luxury of pausing the sim, perhaps slewing slightly to position the highlights, change the view angle.
No, it's all happening at 100kts and all over in the blink of an eye.
There is an element of luck, of course. But you need to be set up to take advantage of it, and the eye of the hunter to capture it.

No I'm not after a free autographed copy of the upcoming book! just had a loong look at that pic, and thought to say: thanks for posting it here.

Three very dramatic aircraft shots and just to calm us down a tranquil scene shot

Brilliant !

This would be one of my top 5 photos from Wanaka, sure it is the Hunter but it was taken from a Cessna 206, which was not easy for Dave. It was great to see him slide on by a couple of times, then power off into the distance, my god the noise was unbelievable each time he did that!!!

NZFF

Texan, L39 and a few others at Wanaka.
