gregrobertson Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Great weather in fact it just couldn't have been better. Unofficial count of 150 aircraft. I think from memory that's more than last years Natfly. Thanks all those who flew in for making it such a fantastic day. Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I had to fly out west briefly and returned about 11am great turn out... I had other pressing matters so had to leave about 1230. Didn't even get a chance to see all the cars. Thanks to all the volunteers and people who make this happen.

Gary: I love the first shot in your sequence with the Trojan and the girl in costume. I can just hear the opening strains of the big band playing "In the mood".

I can just hear the opening strains of the big band playing "In the mood". Yeah, Scott, I filched that photo-op from the pros, busy working with the period-costumed model. I like how that 'iconic' photo plays against the one that follows it; pure symbol - feminine allure, WWII style - gets reconfigured as everyday person (limbs rearranged practically for shot-checking). 'Image' deconstructed by snapshot. (The Trojan, though, remains itself throughout, which is what really interests us plane-tragics, right? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I just have to say, as an observer, that this plane gets my vote as best on field? (But then the Trojans.... hmm ) What about those others who were there; what's your pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 My partner likes the RV and the DH82's, I liked the Waco. I have one of me in front of the one you posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
