Cripes , The poor pilot said, `It looked a lot better than that from 1000 feet [up]'." obviously not close enough to a bitta straight road ?

Pity about the aerial display...

Thinking about that: there are points in formation aerobatics, where loss of power (if that was indeed the issue) can be extremely dangerous.
Aren't these rentals?
I'd give 'em back, and get new ones.

Yeah and instead of going to Avis ... they should try Trucks'R'us

Wow, lucky.. Looks like it could of been a lot worse.

Enjoy the show!

If you need an excuse to go to the show this is it. I took this photo today shortly before the Hunter display. This is one amazing aeroplane so be sure to get to the Tauranga show tomorrow to see it blasting around the sky.
We were just short of 300 knots and the Hunter was still in slow mode!!!

Transmission shortly before this was taken.
"Hunter 17 you have clearance to 9500 ft" followed by "Can I request 15000ft following my last pass"

Three more:

I wonder what the operating cost on that Hunter is during the weekends airshow , cost on tires alone would not be cheap , Great Photos again

Gavin - many many thanks for posting these stunning pics. I know you do this for a living (sniff!!!) so appreciate you putting these up publicly for us! Is this your new equipment? They certainly seem to get better each time you post
