I've never seen any aircraft drop weaponry at any airshow, how fantastic! I know these weren't real bombs, but it give a realistic idea of what it was like...

An excellent video of a world-class show. I can’t make it to Wanaka, but, last year, I went to Oamaka - my first air show since I was a teenager. I won’t tell you how long ago I was a teenager, but - hint - the RNZAF had Vampires... Between them, Wanaka and Omaka keep everyone’s whistle wet and I’m going back to Oamaka next year.

Great video. During the PBY display, what were the two airplanes in the background to the right? They look like C-47s. Were they part of the show?
@modelchili8 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yes they were two DC-3s, one of them was Air Chathams. I had to be really picky about what to record to save the phone battery, so I missed a few planes unfortunately.

Hi. I flew one of the STOL aircraft during the show and we have found no good video of the STOL aircraft display (except for your short clip here). Would you possibly be able to post a KZfaq clip of just the STOL display please??. The footage you have is very good and includes the commentary from a very good vantage point. Well done and thanks!
@modelchili8 жыл бұрын
+STOL guy Thanks! I'll see what I can put together, but it's pretty much just the two clips here plus a slow mo one that I didn't include. Have you contacted the WOW guys too see if they have anything recorded? Awesome display btw!

+ModelChili Scale Models. Cheers for the quick reply. I guess WOW will have something available at a later date but I just thought Id ask as its always nice to see how you did from the outside... we have had quite a few comments that the crowd enjoyed it. Glad you liked it. it was fun!
