Yesterday i went to the wellington air show.
Yesterday i went to a airshow and loved every minute of it.My favourite moment was having a coursier and hurricane chasing each other in a dogfight situation.There were lots of bi and tri planes and the usual yaks.

Some more photos if you arn't bored yet
tanks
very old traction engines
anyone want to repower their car?
Sorry i didn't get many photos of the tanks and i cant really give information on the planes.I have never seen a spitfire and unfortunatly one was supposed to be there but it damaged something on the practise so it wasn't there which was a shame.But the corsier was there to cheer me up again.The look of the bent wings and the sound of the engine is just amazing.I took over 400 photos and about 30 videos and used two sets of batteries.
In the next few weeks i will go through them again and choose the best ones and touch the photos up nicer.
Sssuuuweeeet and Way Cool 
In the US, the largest air show is Oshkosh (Wisconsin), the 2nd largest is the Sun'n'Fun in Florida. SS and I have been to a couple of the FL show. I'll have to dig up the photos from that and post 'em. Lots of flyable WWII aircraft, SS and I even flew in a WWII bi-plane trainer! Now that was cool. Flights in the B-25 Mitchells was a little steep - $250
Great pics Paul!

i would pay it
If a ride was 250 i would gladly pay it.Firstly you would get a wonderfull experience which not many people would be able to do,and secondly the money made keeps the wonderfull plane in the air.It costs a lot to maintain so the more money they can make will keep the old birds flying forever.

tri plane
more
Unfortunatly i didn't get many photos of the bi-plane.I like the underwing planes like the coursier and spitfire the best then the bi-planes.I dont know the names of most of them or the historys etc but they are simply amaizing to watch.You may know peter jackson from the king kong and lord of the rings.He lives about 5 minutes from this airfield and apparantly has invested a lot of money in the planes which are flying or being restored.Flying is his passion and apparantly in king kong he was flying one of the planes (movie) and shooting kong up the tower.
The show will be back in 2 years and once again i will be there.
