Temora Air Show

[Commie]

Just a bit of an image dump of an airshow I went to on the weekend for your enjoyment. A few clips of the planes in action: YouTube - Temora Airshow 11/4/09 The tribute to Tom Moon (a pilot who died in an accident earlier this year), a missing-man formation with the Spitfire, Harvard, Wirraway, and Boomerang (didn't get a clear picture of the Boomerang breaking off, which is a shame). The most amazing minute's silence I've ever witnessed. The DC-3 strutting its stuff. Spitfire XVI and CA13 Boomerang getting ready for their displays. Wirraway ready to move onto the taxiway. A flyby (with smoke!) of the Wirraway and Harvard. Spitfire startup. The stars of the show. Damn that Boomerang can do some amazing aerobatics. Lockheed 12 and Hudson in formation. Meteor F8, one of my favourites just for the sound. And now with 100% more de Havilland Vampire. And one last pic of the Boomerang before the dash back to the car (everyone else was busy with the Spitfire, so I got a good pic of the other planes). Thunderstorms let loose about 5 mins after the final display, which was lucky. My new desktop pic - a shot of the Meteor having just taxied back to the ramp with the impending thunderstorms in the background.

Nice pics, this was in Oz I presume?

Are the planes privately owned or are they part of some museum collection or collector's groups. I guess the climate is conducive to keepin the planes in good shape because they all look to be well kept.

I am always on parade when I see nice flypasts so I never get a chance to take any pictures.

Holy crap a real live Boomerang!!! I didnt think any were still flyable.

Nice pic of the Whirraway too!

And a Meteor and a DeHavilland Vampire?!?!

Nice airshow.

This is indeed in Oz, about 4 hours drive from where I live.

From what I know, most are owned by the museum but they often have privately owned/collectors aircraft on display (i.e. the Super Constellation that made an appearance).

It was recently restored, last time I went to the airshow they didn't have it. It really has to be seen to be believed, it's amazing (and the howling sound it makes is chilling). They were really throwing it around the sky too, putting on a performance that would've put the A-37 Dragonfly to shame.
