Wings over Illawarra

3 days till I head down south to check out this event. Looking forward to seeing some old favourites plus some aircraft I've not seen in the air before. Should be a good day's entertainment.

The list of aircraft on display this year looks pretty good for a one day event:

Very keen to see the Catalina flying as I've only ever seen them on the ground or in a museum previously.

Of course I'll be posting some pics once I get back and have time to sort through them.

Not a tardy line-up at all and yes, the Catalina looks the pick of the flyers but a static Canberra is always something to behold.

Don't forget the pictures ya mongrel.

The camera will be busy I suspect. http://www.ausphotography.net.au/for...otographer.gif

No doubt...would have been even better if there were an F-86 Sabre or a Frightening to drool over :)

Take a look at the flying display list at 14:30. A CAC27 Sabre will be there doing a flypast.

Very nice line up of aircraft to see and enjoy. Hope the weather holds for you. Have a great time! :up:

Forecast looks good so far if a little cool. Partly cloudy and 15C. :sunny:

I went there last year. The Catalina is great :)

EDIT: I also saw the Boomerang in TarJak's sig there :D

Pics or it didn't happen :D

Yeah I saw that mate but my favourite is the six gunned F-86 :sunny:

Very nice. This is the one that'll be doing the flying on Sunday twin 30mm ADEN cannons in the nose and the Avon engine:

Perfect footage :yeah:

Nice little bird.
Tarjak you better charge up your batteries and take extra film just in case.:)

Not taking my analogue camera so no film required. Have several memory cards and two spare batteries though.

No vibration and auto focus then :)
