Experts showed off their skills
with their dog fight displays
chasing each other over the airfiled
with models old and newer
taking the A10 Tank Buster for fueling
Taking the WWII plane for parking
Bi-planes, models of those flown in WWI
not exactly the red arrows
Here's the superfortress again
it was very impressive with it's four engines
Boeing B-29-45-MO (it's only a model)
Bi-Plane with smoke effect
they don't really go very fast
Oh, erm I think that's the superfortress again
yep, it is .. and it was chasing after the bi-plane
Needless to say it didn't get it
Model plane towing model glider
Not every landing was a smooth one!
Luckily they are easier to pick up than real planes!
Planes parked and waiting to be flown
Model Aircraft still towing model glider
This was the last time the glider was actually seen
Model EuroFighter (Typhoon)
EuroFighter on a low pass
time for something a little different
Oh look, is it a bird is it a plane
The Comet does a fly past too
lots of planes up in the air
Comet and Superfortress formation flying
F15 Eagle Jet sits on the runway awaiting take off permission
After 10 minutes in the air doing some fantastic stunts...
and there it sat until it was picked up and carried off
Then it was time for the model helicopters
So small and quick moving
It was extremely difficult to take pictures of them
walking to the entrance gate from the car park
Boeing's B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated, propeller-driven, bomber to fly during World War II, and the first bomber to house its crew in pressurized compartments. Boeing installed very advanced armament, propulsion, and avionics systems into the Superfortress. During the war in the Pacific Theater, the B-29 delivered the first nuclear weapons used in combat. On August 6, 1945, Colonel Paul W. Tibbets, Jr., in command of the Superfortress "Enola Gay," dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Major Charles W. Sweeney piloted another B-29 named "Bockscar" and dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. On August 14, 1945, the Japanese accepted Allied terms for unconditional surrender.
after the cable was released the glider's controller lost sight of it.
can you name all these aircraft?
The superfortress is back in the sky
with a Comet flying in behind
and on the ground a spitfire looks on
can you spot the superfortress?
I initially thought I'd missed the plane altogether it was going so quick, a radar gun clocked it at over 130mph.
the F15 Eagle Jet lands, with a bump as the rear landing gear fails to lock in place.
okay so it's not actually a model it's a real one
