A few more Warbirds Over Wanaka photos.......
First is the Hercules doing a surprise arrival at Wanaka. The runway is just above the slope!



and the Hercules with some interesting condensation trails:-



and the Hercules going near vertical:-



























I read that the number of visitors at the airshow was 86 000, so well down on the normal numbers. Enjoy the photos!1

Smooth landings
