My Take on Classic Fighters

I had waited impatiently for the day to finally arrive and head off to Omaka. The weather on Sunday was slightly disappointing with low cloud everywhere. It made photography a challenge but the show was superb with a large number of aircraft that I had not seen before.

 
MX2, ZK-MXT

 
Nanchang CJ-6a formation

 
Pair of Yak 3's ZK-YYY & ZK-VVS

 
 BF 108 Taifun ZK-WFI

 
Beechcraft Staggerwing VH-UXP

 
Spitfire heaven!

 
Frendship ZK-POH

 
Pitts S12 ZK-PTS

 
Fokker swarm

 
Roaring 40's Harvards
 
 
TVAL's latest creation, Fokker D.Va piloted by Kermit Weeks

    It looks to me as if Kermit Weeks is flying the Albatross?

    He certainly was, anon. A friend and I got to talk with him briefly, a) he said the Albatros had a very sweet-running engine, and 2) he loved coming to Omaka and really enjoyed the show.
