Hope it is going to fly down there.

I didn't used to like them much until I saw one up close. Now I like them. It has old time charm in abundance.

Sad to see it go but happy that it's in good hands. What's happening with the 109?

 

[parsifal]

woo hoo. Sad news for you guys, but great for us aircraft starved Aussies....

 

[Wildcat]

Yep, looking forward to seeing it airborne!

Good news; hopefully we'll see it this side of the Tazzie at the next Warbirds over Wanaka.

The first Hurricane in Australia since the RAAF scrapped their one post war. Will be great to see it in the air again.
