  1. The only flying example of of a PBJ-1J (Navy version of the B-25) N5865V makes a pass at the Capital Airshow, Mather Field, California. March 2025 #airshow #capitalairshow #aviation #AvGeek #spotter #USN #B25 #PBJ #photography #Nikon #nikonphotgraphy #CCA2025 #Z9 #Warbird #WWII

  2. One of the many youtube channels I follow is Hawker Typhoon Legacy, a Canadian guy and his dad and they are rebuilding a Hawker Typhoon (edit: flying example) airplane! Really nice nerdy technical stuff on metal forming and airplane building.

  3. Tigermoth playing with a toilet roll

    Just a joy to watch. Both days were perfect for this

  5. Among the things I *didn’t* expect to find when I arrived at my local muni airport for a little plane spotting: a B-25 Mitchell.

  6. My 15YO granddaughter just texted and asked me to send her a pic of “my favorite airplane.” I wanted to send her 34,000 pics of all of them, but in the interest of SMS overcharges, narrowed it down to this one.

    I flew with the #Duggy crew into Rock Falls, IL for the “Last Time” DC-3/C-47 reunion, and then was on the flight deck as they flew the Warbird Island arrival to RWY 27 into Oshkosh. We waved at the #avgeeks on the Ardy and Ed’s patio as we slid overhead.

  7. Soon to be retired C-130H(NZ) NZ7002 at Warbirds Over Wanaka 2018. Replacement C-130J-30s are under construction.

  8. Full Noise was to campaign at the #AirRaces in 2024 however she will likely not see #Reno again after the announcement this year’s event will be the last held there. A lot of race fans would dearly love to see the Kiwi “Yak in a box” return to the pylons. I know I would. #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  9. An aircraft I always enjoy seeing is Graeme Frew’s Yak-3 “Full Noise”, a two-time veteran of the National Championship #AirRaces at #Reno. She was up and down a lot over the weekend, flying rides as well as displays. #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  10. An aircraft I was especially keen to see was the FW-190, first of the Flug Werk reproductions built in the late 1990s-early 2000s. I had never seen this aircraft run, let alone fly, and that changed on the Thursday! #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  11. Bevan flew two different routines over the weekend: on Friday with Pete McCombe in Harvard NZ1066, and on the show days with Mark O’Sullivan in SAAF Harvard 7660. Fitted with practice bombs, Harvard Four Four makes a distinctive whistling sound as she flies by. #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  12. Bevan Dewes’ Harvard NZ1044 made its airshow debut at #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023. This RNZAF veteran served as an instructional airframe with both the New Zealand National Airways Corporation and Air New Zealand…she’s in rather nicer condition now! #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  13. Two Gippsland Fatman agricultural aircraft of local firm Patchett Ag-Air performed a very smart display on Easter Sunday. Although they could not demonstrate lime sowing due to wind, they flew formation and showed the type of flying rarely seen away from the farms they work over. #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  14. This was a truly surreal experience. I’d first read of John Smith’s legendary collection when I was seven or so, and now I was sitting in his Mosquito. I was still shaking two hours later. Thank you Al, this meant more to me than words can describe. Thanks too to Daniel Rarity for getting the two photos of me! #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  15. The third John Smith aircraft was the aforementioned De Havilland Mosquito. Very successful raffles were run over the weekend where the prize was to sit in the cockpit during an engine run. While I was buying tickets for one of these raffles Al Marshall, the head of the restoration project, happened to walk in and see me - that night he took me aside and invited me for a closer look on Sunday... #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  16. On Easter Sunday I got to help push Gloria into her parking spot on the flightline…as I’d read about this aircraft since childhood it was a real “pinch yourself” moment. #Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 #avgeek #warbirds #airshow

  17. I just realised I didn’t post any photos I took at Omaka #ClassicFighters2023 on here! That will change tonight - brace yourselves for an onslaught of #warbirds photos my friends! #avgeek

  18. Under the hood of BAC-167 Strikemaster Mk88 ZK-STR NZ6370 at NZ Warbirds Open Day June 2014, Ardmore.

    Next Tuesday will mark 107 years since the end of the Great War. The armistice went into effect at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.
    To commemorate the anniversary we hope to fly some of our WW1 aircraft on Sunday afternoon - weather permitting - from 1PM.🌺

  23. This WWII vintage Link trainer, is the only Warbird I can honestly claim to have flown. My high-school had one almost exactly like this, lovingly restored and fully operational. It's a full motion flying simulator (instruments only, thus the blacked out canopy), and effectively driven by an analog computer. An amazing piece of technology.
