Here are a selection of photos from the last airshow held at Ardmore Airport back in the 1megapixel days of 2004 (please excuse the quality of these old photos). 9 pics- 1.12mb


1. 5 Warbirds in formation


2. RNZAF C-130 Herc


3. A recently restored Warbird (unsure of what type)


4. The ZK-DAK DC-3 taxing for takeoff


5. A RNZAF Boeing 757 doing a low fly-by


6. 4 more Warbirds in formation


7. The RNZAF Herc doing a fly-by with bomb doors open


8. An RNZAF Iroquois helecopter


9. 3 jet powered Warbirds (The DH Vampire in this pic crashed a few months after this photo was taken)



The next show at NZAR is expected to be later this year

The first is probably the best of the lot. Not bad for a woggo 1megapixel camera

Nice pics, just a small thing I noticed though, I'm pretty sure that Vampire is still airworthy, are you sure you weren't confusing it with the Fouga Magister ZK-FGA which also attended that airshow and crashed not long afterwards?
