Nice day to go flying

Last month we spent the day at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. We weren’t able to stay for Battle of Britain Airshow the following day but we did catch some of the warbirds practising the day before. Here’s a random selection of videos on iPhone – excuse the shakiness in a few
So the trailer for Top Gun 2 got me pretty hyped. In the meantime for a laugh…
When the aircraft you want is at the back of the hangar, and no one around to help you move aircraft… Who needs weights at the gym?
Recently spent the weekend in Temora for the Warbirds Downunder air show. Once again some awesome sights to be seen. Highlights included two Spitfire, two Mustangs and two Kittyhawks in formation, plus Australia’s only airworthy Hawker Hurricane!
I’ve been waiting to do this for a while. This was the first time I’ve flown solo in 14 years!
We flew from Camden up the lane of entry to Hornsby, across to the coast and down Victor 1 at 500′ before returning to Camden via the Sea Cliff Bridge.
There were a few problems, VH-LRA had fouled plugs so we took VH-UNL and it turns out her Mode C transponder was out so no Sydney Harbour Scenic. Still – good flight.
