I spent yesterday at the wings of Wairarapa airshow. Unfortunately none of my photos of the Polikarpov I-153 came out well, but here are some of the photos that did:
A De Havilland Vampire T11 warming up its engine.
It is virtually impossible to photograph a Corsair when it is flying 100 feet above the ground past the crowd, so you get a photo of it parked.
WWI biplanes are somewhat slower and easier to photograph. At top is a Sopwith Camel, to the left is a Nieuport 24 bis and to the right is a Fokker which I can’t identify.
The airforce did it’s thing with a C-130. Apparently one of their pilots is current with a Fokker Triplane! That about sums up the New Zealand airforce.
The least aerobatic plane of the show: a PBY-5A Catalina flying-boat.
