Nice! Do you know whether the new owner plans to retain the colour scheme?

I'll echo the previous comments. That Connie is a fab restoration and your images of it are excellent. I look forward to more.

A great location it is, and what a line-up at this year's event. So pleased to hear that the Corsair will remain in NZ and I'd love to see that Mosquito?. Nice work!

Thanks for the comments!

I was granted day leave to attend the 40th anniversary of this event and it didn't disappoint. The highlight for me was the newly-arrived Sea Fury and the repainted Cessna Dragonfly, along with a few other aircraft that I had not previously photographed. Unlike the last event, the weather was perfec...

Excellent bunch of images! Those vintage jets are just sooo nice.

Lovely images of this momentous occasion. I think that’s number four out of NZ.

Thanks for the comments. :thumbsup: A few more to add to this thread, rather than start another one. Qantas has put a couple of A220s (they will ultimately operate quite a few more) into service to replace their fleet of DC-9s (cannot call them 717s) which, from what one of my ex instructors tells m...

Nice George - you should get a medal for attending... My wife and adult children think that I should be committed to some sort of custodial institution. Can't say that I have a robust defence against that. :wink: :grinning: Re: the warbird scene across the ditch in NZ, I'm saddened by the possible ...

An interesting range of attendees and nicely captured. Love the TC-135 and Red Bull Warbird images.

...and the last batch from this excellent little show. Three of these 2/3-scale Mustangs were in the static park with another participating in the flying display. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53585218599_c4fb0ec8c5_h.jpg P-51 Replica VH-JWK. by George Pergaminelis , on Flickr A couple of imag...

An oustanding set of images! That Sea Hurri is fab.

G'day from a very hot Melbourne where we have endured three days of greater than 38 C, with overnight lows of about 28 C. The Tyabb airshow is held at a small Mornington Peninsula (check yer maps! :slight_smile: ) airfield that is home to an interesting range of homebuilt, antique and warbird aircra...

All I have are these from Oshkosh '22 and '23. Pretty ho-hum paint schemes but they're the only examples of this type that I can recall seeing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52283203172_5ff310a077_h.jpg MiG-29 and Alphajets. by George Pergaminelis , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/6553...

No? What about the next one on the line at Avspecs, destined for Biggin Hill?

...and I believe that the owner is planning to bring it to the former penal colony to display, prior to shipping it to the UK. The 10yo boy trapped in this 62yo body cannot wait.

My two picks from an excellent set are the first HAF F-4 and the RDAF F-16 that looks as though it is coming straight at you. Were you standing on a step ladder?! Nice work.

De Havilland Mosquito T.43 A52-1054/NZ2308, the machine Glyn Powell began the Mosquito resurrection project with about 35 years ago, is now registered as ZK-PWL and edges closer to a return to flight: http://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2024/02/the-ex-glynn-powell-mosquito-registered.html ... and it has b...

Nice work! I reckon that you'd be very happy with these images, and smilin' from ear to ear.

A nice set captured in good light and with a blue-sky background. Well worth the wait in what I imagine must have been freezing weather.

Excellent! The three-ship vintage jet presence would be enough (for me) to make it a must-attend show. The appearance of the Spad would be a bonus.. Thanks for sharing this extensive set of images.

Pleased to hear that you have recovered from your recent illness.

An excellent set of images from a day during which the weather seems to have co-operated. The light direction looks favourable for photography, too. It's a show that's on my list, but dependent on whether I receive approval from the Director of Home Affairs.

The light looks very challenging but you have come home with some fine images. Nice work, Jake

So it looks as though the Airvan joins the Airtruk and Nomad as three of the Australian industry's "near misses"...

Nomad....groan.
