Oldfart's travelling digression.
 

I've just done a quick detour to New Zealand for an Air Show.

It was WW1 themed with visits from WW2 and ground action.

The pics are a bit muddled, but each stands on it's own merits.

More.

And more.

More still.

Oldfart,

TY! :)

Even more.

Morer.

Even more again.

A few more.

Did I mention more?

OK did not view them all but it saddens me that the P-51 is grounded great pics of the P-38 Corsair Spits and Camel though .... I was fortunate enough to be on the flight deck of a B-17 originally named The Virginian I forget her current name during a new engine 3 hour flight spec out I.E they were testing the engine after 3 hours of flight time I have a predigital picture taken from behind the flight engineers station (seat) Gene Krantz (Apollo space program fame ) was the regular flight engineer on that plane but he did not make that trip to NJ

You are so much like a little boy all filled with excitement around your toys. Your eyes literally light up!

You know me well, dearest.

More more.

Last more.

Wow, you got some of the unusual stuff: in particular, the Harry Tate. Didn't know anybody bothered to preserve any of those.

Great stuff overall!

The RE-8's just out of restoration, gg. It was Harry's first stroll since the re-build.

They've got these picture frames that have their own little built-in stands so you don't have to use merits...

The unmistakable "broken wing" Corsairs remind me of the hours gleefully wasted watching "Baa Baa Black Sheep". I also have a distant memory of building a model kit of the "Tiger Shark" way back when.

Black Sheep Squadron was worth watching.

Fantastic pictures, OF! Loved the picture of the P-40 Warhawk. Always liked the looks of that fighter. :)
