I was just reading a news story on The Timaru Herald's website and discovered a link to the following story, published on Tuesday about a problem involving ZK-DAK enroute from Omaka to Queenstown following the Classic Fighters airshow....

• DC3 lands at Pukaki Airport due to technical difficulties

If you aren't living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

A fewphotos from Sunday. From what I saw, terrific. The organisers really pulled out the stops to get it going as well as it did, all things considered, so congrats to them and everyone else involved. Working a new lens at the show, although the light wasn't the best. I still haven't mastered getting props to do a nice blur...

In no particular order;

Great photos all and great show even with the weather / technical troubles.

Dave / Errol, nice use of the weather conditions for some moody shots.

Bit of link spam sorry... but it's easier to upload photos to my blog rather than also upload them to a photo-sharing service.

I may have gotten a little carried away with the amount I have uploaded.... :-) My photos are here:

We were also lucky with flying down on the Wednesday, so missed all the Akl flight issues due to the cyclone. It also meant we got to see the Dangerous Skies exhibit. Very cool!

For something a bit different, a couple of other mates (not on here) have also posted a few things worth checking out -

V1 rocket launch & the Mk XIV getting rather close (vid by Rob Wood) -

For those that like photoshop digital wizardry - www.lbj-photography.com/digihistory.htm If you like his stuff, tell him I sent you so I can try and claim a cut! ;-)

(PS - not sure if he is on here, but thanks to the guy who let me take a photo of the display/TO timings etc for the Sunday show. Much appreciated)
