Sorry to take so long to report back folks, been a crazy week.. I've just about processed all my photos, will post them as I get them through Photoshop.
This is the quick version as I'm still short of time, sorry.
Euan and myself, plus a couple of pax planned to go to the Whenuapai open day in Auckland last weekend, at the last minute getting aircraft switched for the one that's just come back from major repairs after being crashed into with a truck. Anyway, I digress. The weather was good, Euan flew well, when we got to Auckland I offered to do the radio, so he flew and I talked. Not sure I helped much but there you go.
The aircraft displays, both static and flying were mighty impressive! C-17 and F-18 kicked ass, the F-18 was so loud I think my eardrums gave up and went home :)
I didn't get to the C17 cockpit but did get into the Herc left seat, w00t !!!! Good stuff...
The c17 was handy as a sunshade all day as it was a touch warm there, and I had a great day shooting.. What more could you ask for??
Our trip back was slightly slower due headwinds, but we still got home before most of the cars got out of the car park...
I've been culling images but still have a shitload so I'm going to split them up and post by subject aircraft. Technical details for any film camera geeks out there: All aerials and long shots - Nikon F5 / 300 F4 / 1.4TC, all interiors shot with Nikon F80 / 20-35 F2.8, film was a mix of Superia 200/400, Fuji Pro400, Kodak Portra 800, and my fav, Kodak Ektar 100
