Newcastle Air show 2011

[JohnPearson]

Hi all

Went down to Newcastle today, for the local airshow, and I must say that it was very good. The number of aircraft taking part was small compared with other airshows, however, the display line was very close to the crowd line and I was able to get some low pass shots. Also the time slots between the displays where very short, therefore the showline was busy all afternoon.

Here are a few photos :

































Happy landings

great shots john, right up there with the aircraft. that mustang looks like it's on a dead stick approach! it wasn't, was it ?

[Happy Days]

Yes, I like the mustang shots as well, especially with the bird on the wing.

And three Long eezz in pattern flight, never seen three at the same time before.

Very nice shots JP, well done. :clap:

I think aeroplanes lost a lot of their charisma when they lost their propellers, don’t you?

Does that mean you don't like gliders anymore Keith, seeing that they don't have propellers.      :wink:

[Happy Days]

Trust you to notice the anomaly Alan!

I like flying gliders because of their performance and flight duration.

 But I have to admit that as far as full size planes go, a spinning prop makes the plane look much more dynamic.  (At least, to my mind it does. :wink: )

a fella has to be very careful what he says on a page these days keith, they'll pick you up for the slightest hiccup! you have to think everything thru (sorry, through) before you type it.
