Special thanks to Paul Mc Sweeney and the team at Pioneer Aero, Gavin Trethewey, Frank Parker, Liz Needham, and Colin Hunter for their help during my two day stay.

Flying alongside the aircraft was a magical experience but I cant help thinking that I should have started taking photos a few years earlier but am making up for it.

Have just added a new folder of photos from the flight to my website.

Have just added a folder of photos covering the amazing flight with Brendon Deere's Sptifrire at Ohakea.

Finally got round to posting quite a few of them on my website.

Special thanks to Craig, Andrew, Al Marshall and the other pilots who made this possible.

Took a while to get it together but we got there as everyone got comfortable.

Sure was a great sight from where I was sitting.

June 12 2009.

Have just added some Air 2 Air photos of the OSRC Corsair and Kittyhawk taken at Classic Fighters 2009.

A great experience and thanks to all who made the flight possible.

Flying alongside a pair of ex RNZAF WW2 fighters is pretty special.

June 06 2009:

Have just added a folder of photos from the flight with Rob Mackleys Stearman.

The photos were taken in Jan 09 and the aircraft is flown by Stuart Tantrum.

May 28 2009:

Have just added some photos to the site of the three DH Classics that flew at Classic Fighters 2009.

Special thanks to Ryan and the gang for making the flight possible.

We tried several formation changes and they all worked in the limited time we had and that was quite pleasing and just goes to show what is possible with good pilots.

I organized a second aircraft for the DVD guys to get some footage so look forward to seeing that.

Had always wanted to get the two DH twins together and adding the Fox Moth was just brilliant.

If you were a passenger in these aircraft and would like a photo, I have given a disc of photos to the AHC so all photos can be purchased from the AHC and all proceeds go to the AHC as well.

May 22 2009:

Have just added a folder of photos to the website from the trip to MOTAT.

Was a good trip and nice to see the old planes again.

May 20 2009:

Have just added a new folder of photos titled Red Checkers Flight At CF 2009.

Was an incredible experience flying the actual airshow display.

Special thanks to Macka, not sure how he made it possible but I loved it.

Have flown a lot of aerobatics so that part was of no surprise so I could sit back, enjoy the flight, and take some photos along the way.

Close formation aeros is about as exciting as it gets and flying inverted during the mirror is something I had always dreamt about but never thought I could be involved in.
