A few more from the archives

I was attempting to organise my "Photos" folder on the home pc - 5gb worth of everything a digital camera has been pointed at since 2003 dumped into one folder marked with some very vague descriptions to further complicate matters.

Anyhow, the exercise came to naught mainly due to my great plan of creating separate alphabetically arranged folders and guess what, "Aviation" starts with A and had a lot of really interesting shots from the past few years to look at and ..... wow, where did that time go?

Here's a collection of some from 2004 up to 2006 that may be of interest ....

Love the paint scheme on this Ryan


Another Ryan prior to the engine going kapow


Self explanatory really


A familiar cockpit Andrew?


The only way to fly


Auckland in the morning


1945?


23mm double barrel argument settler on the Mig 21


Mig 21 buttonskis and controlskis


More Mig 21 buttonskis and controlskis


And yet more Mig 21 buttonskis and controlskis


If you exceed mach1 in a Harvard the front cowling may come off


That should do for the time being.

Cheers,
Stu.

Lovely selection of shots there, Stu.

Good to see some cockpit shots from the MiG-21. Enough buttons and switches in there to keep the average pilot busy! ;D

Thanks for sharing.

Cool photos, lucky you found them. The MiG 21 cockpit doe slook rather overcrowded and complicated. Why do the Russians go for that horribe blue colour in their cockpits? That would be enough to make me feel ill.

Maybe that colour is from 'recycled' boiled cabbage, potato and vodka? ;D
