I'll start this new thread with some shots I have put together of various aircraft that have been seen at the recent Classic Fighters air show at Omaka (and because I didn't get there I will just have to make it up virtually) - shots are inspired by the real life ones I have seen here and at other forums - first up the 'Bou. I'll add more as I go (yes Zac I will get to the Pfalz    |

Great idea! I'm looking forward to following this thread - it's virtually aviation art.

Great idea! I'm looking forward to following this thread - it's virtually aviation art. 'nuff said! Comment seconded. Oh Paul, what on Earth ever gave you the idea that I like Pfalzes?   Looking forward to it dude! As I said over at NZFF, if anyone else is keen, this would be a great chance for other FS users to post their recreations of this year's show - Gavin's Se.5a comes to mind, I know there are several repaints of the Alphasim Harvard with NZ Warbirds liveries so a Roaring Forties is possible, how about trying the seven Dr.Is? I can tell you, if I had a copy of FS here, and a joystick, I'd be snapping away like mad! |

Very nice. All three of those aircraft look great. You'd have a job to get NZ1803 along to omaka though, it's in the RNZAF Museum.

Didn't know it was the RNZAF museum Devon - the guy that did the model repaint lives near Wigram (he also made the Christchurch & Wigram airport scenery that was in one of the other threads & a Harvard repaint I have) so I guess it was easier to do than the Devons that live elsewhere.
Can anybody tell me what current RNZAF aircaft were at Classic Fighters other than the Airtrainers & Seasprite?

Thanks Guys Now for the RNZAF First up the Huey  Hoisting demo (my chopper flying skills are woeful)  The Herc decided to turn up to my airshow: Fast past  Ramp down  Flare Release  Whoops!  More to come (and yes the Pfalz & co are still coming - I am having problems with the recorder module and I can't get more than 2 aircaft up at once - hopefully I can work out what is wrong with it -probably the operator) |

I wanna see the 22 radials up in the Tora, Tora scenario. And the formation that really impressed me was the two C-47's and two Mustangs. And I wanna see the Yak 3, and the Harvard team and the Checkers...

Wonderful. Your pictures are almost as good as looking at traditional aviation art.
