Tauranga airshow photos

I've been a little slack in posting about our Tauranga airshow trip. Suffice it to say it was a nice flight there and back, and a very well run airshow. Here's a few photos of the show:

Eagle Air open day photos

From my backlog of shots that I'm finally scanning - these are from Eagle Air's open day last November, where the public was allowed to clamber through and around their Beech 1900D airliners. Got to sit in the pilot's seat, cool! Some images for you...

Titan Mustang photos

Sorry for the lengthy delay since the last post, I've been waiting for my new scanner to arrive so I could get some decent image quality, and now it is here I'm busy rattling through my backlog of images.

Anyway, one of the local flying instructors has just finished building a Titan T-51 Mustang. He's spend so many years slaving over it I think he might be a bit nervous about actually taking it flying!!!

Hopefully I will have a chance to take some aerial photos in the not too distant future.

Catching up on my photos: Te Kowhai fly-in

Sorry for the long silence on the blog folks, I've had a crazy few months. Catching up on posting my photos now, this is from a month or two back. Te Kowhai had a (private) fly-in to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the airfield, and two of us managed to accidentally gatecrash the party. Oops!

Photos from my 1950s camera here, I thought that would be fitting, since the aircraft are mostly at least that old.
