Everytime I see these I want to do it in flightsim, just a shame the only model of them is an AI model.

Absolute stunners, all of them! Were you in the air with the team for every picture, or are the last few captured from the ground?

Also- would it be possible to have a 1024x768 version of the first photo uploaded or sent to me for a desktop background please?

Hi,
Some of the photos were taken in the air and some on the ground.
Flew for 40 minutes and changed formation 16 times including formation loops, mirror, and mirror corkscrew so we covered everything and will post more photos once the magazines are finished with them.
The RNZAF guys were brilliant to work with and the flight was hard work with a lot of very demanding flying.

The weather sure was good that day - 35 degrees !!

Fantastic shots Gavin. I saw the display along with many others form base.
Personally I did not think it was quite as polished as previous years, but still good none the less.
