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.

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!

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

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:

It will look something like this:

Perfect footage

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

TarJak · 04-30-14, 04:37 PM

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

I went there last year. The Catalina is great

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

Pics or it didn't happen

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