Lovely selection, Marcus! The poster featured Kahu's Sikorsky Black Hawk. Did it attend? No, unfortunately. |

Great to see the jets moving under their own power! I would love to see the Hunter flying again. It is a real performer.

Haven't seen the Falcons with the 40's before. Is that new? Big step if it is combining civil and military formations. Military has a cannipsion fit mostly about that

Military has a cannipsion fit mostly about that The Red Checkers did a similar formation with Roaring 40's Harvards at the 2009 Whenuapai Open Day I think. I've got photos somewhere. Going even further back there was a 14 Sqn formation with a Macchi and P-40 ZK-RMH at Wings over Wairarapa in 1999. |

Thanks Marcus! Nice shots. I wonder why the RNZAF serial on the port side of ZK-TAF has a large gap between the letters and numerals... I think there is a hole there to fit a shaft so you can put the tail on jacks. Its original to the real NZ2415. |

Went and had a look at my copy of Southern Cross Mustangs and found a photo of NZ2517 (now flying in the US with Kermit Weeks) that shows the mount hole. The serial number may have been left alone on the starboard side as it may not have covered the hole?  20200121_181251 by Barry Tod, on Flickr |

Excellent!
That's some nice tight formation in the P-40 from Liz Needham. Brilliant!

I do enjoy seeing that Texan-Harvard formation. Very cool.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their photos, it's a great glimpse at the show. One day I'll get there!

I do enjoy seeing that Texan-Harvard formation. Very cool. Thank you to everyone who has shared their photos, it's a great glimpse at the show. One day I'll get there! We certainly plan on having more of these shows. If you look at the Avenger thread you will see NZ2539 has this week (i.e. since the show) had its propellor fitted. Also this week (Wednesday) the team was working on resolving the hydraulic issue which prevented its intended wing swing action at the show. For the record, just on 18,500 man hours have been expended on that Avenger since its arrival on 7 July 2017. Fine tuning of Vampire NZ5751's engine is planned. Come the next show, the aircraft currently exhibited at Classic Flyers should be in a more advanced state. What's more there may be more aircraft by that stage. |
