Ardmore Open Day Snaps

[ardypilot]

Like quite a few other NZFF'ers, I went down to Ardy yesterday to have a close up look at the WB's and watch the aerobatics - was a great day for viewing the planes, not so good for photographing them though, with the glarey bright sunshine that coated the airport.

Many people had their long expensive lenses out and were shooting away, so I expect there will be a flood of high res well zoomed shots from the day uploaded throughout the week- there's already a few on Wings Over Cambridge, and I expect Keagan will post his bunch at ARNZ- however, for the time being, here are a sample of my pics from a plain old Fujifilm S700:


Properly the least expensive model at Ardmore, the the windows causally wound down


P40


First time I'd seen the new Spitty in the flesh


I swear this is just a Boeing Stearman cut in half!


#65 on the ground...


... and in the air


The rest of the 40's


TMG


High speed low level flyby



Some of the GA parked up the AAC end









Enter the NUT


Over and out


Andrew in the Messenger, with CIT in the background


The ME108


And the DAK parked up at the end



Cheers!
