And check out the functions of the search engine. Narrow it down to specific biplanes in museums in the united states if you like. Or look for military jets in Wanaka and so on.

Full wraparound coverage! those are awesome shots of a seriously nice airliner. I'm just waiting for someone to produce a 1/72 model kit of one - I love the glossy paint job.
If it was supposed to be easy. everyone would be doing it...

What a great shadow! It just fits on the runway.
Terrific shots and, wow, how the Kiwis know how to display their two magnificent B.757s. They have running manufacturer's serials and have always been paired in their working lives.
I came across another amazing co-incidence today. Two of the three airworthy Super Constallations C-121Cs, have sequential MATS CNs and Lockheed sns!
Breitling: C-121C : MATS 54-146, s/n 4175 N73544
HARS: C-121C : MATS: 54-157, s/n 4176 VH-EAG "Southern Preservation". Tip tanks added. Not original MATS configuration.
I think I will buy a lottery ticket.

Holy Crap! The world's biggest jet fighter!
That's an amazing piece of footage. Thanks for the link
It sounds amazing too. I know they have some power in those engines but you just expect an airliner to stall flying like that, don't you. I wonder who the pilot was. Ex-Skyhawk no doubt.

that sort of flying might be a bit hard on the cabin attendants (whatever they are called in the RNZAF) - would be awkward to pour coffee or fill Helen's champagne flute....

In my day they were called Air Stewards, and were mostly converted Mess Stewards (a trade they no longer have I believe as thge messes are now civvy run)
