Taking To The Air...

[Keenlearner]

These were taken at the Wing Over Wairarapa 2009 & Whenuapai Air Show 2009.


Wings Over Wairarapa.
Don't they just look huge from beneath?


The Mighty C-17 Globemaster III
How do these lumbering great things ever get off the ground?


Yaks in formation
The formation flying was spectacular.


The famous Red Checkers
Precision at it's best.

Thanks for looking.

Wow Pauline, this is an excellent set. I always enjoy the airshow pictures because I work with the military ones. I love them all. You did a great job with the collage and the great frame colour match on the last one. This is excellent work Pauline and as usual so well presented.

Dave.

WoW Pauline - great shots - like the collage and composition of all is excellent. Cheers, Bernz

Excellent shots. C-5s are amazing. They are so big they look like they're flying low and going slow. Love your formation shots, especially the last one with the blue sky against the gold planes.

Really great shots. That fourth shot is outstanding.

Thanks again Dave. The big birds are such a fascination to me, I could sit at an airport all day and just watch them coming and going. Crazy I know, but hey, that's me. Both shows were spectacular all day functions, and apart from getting very sunburnt at both, we had an awesome family day out.

Thanks Bernz. I love me birds, both the feathered variety and the "tin turkeys"...but capturing them in flight is another story LOL

Great Captures Keenlearner, I was in the C-17 fabrication building several years ago, it's amazing to watch those monsters go together. Looks like you had a great time
Thanks for sharing these

Thanks for that Mike. I hear what you are saying, those big fullas look as though they are going to stop in mid-air...incredible sight, the formation flying was absolute precision...brilliant stuff.

Thankyou for your feedback. I think that last one was a sheer fluke, but came out okay thank goodness.

Thankyou Michael. Oh you lucky man, to watch one of those monsters being built would be just awesome. We did have a wonderful day at the air show...can't wait for the next one.
