Very interesting, OF. Sounds like a really exceptional aircraft. I'm amazed at the very short take off and landing runs. Wow! That'd let you take off and land just about anywhere. I assume it can be fit with snowski's for winter use in more primitive areas?

Skis, floats and even a modified wing turning it into a sea-skimmer.

Awesome! I love to fly, especially the thrill of the take off! Very very cool OF!!!

What..... you didn't get out and walk on the wings ?


Isn't that the type of plane they use for that?

You do get to do some exciting things, OF!

Very cool!!

I couldn't make this show (in New Zealand) but some pics coming out of it are amazing.

A Bristol Fighter; and the truly atrocious crate, wow. Is that a Fee on the right int he frist photo, or a DH 2?

Oldfart 11-11-2012 06:05 PM

I suspect it's a Fee, with 3 wing struts, the DH2 had 2 (I think).

I know, the next time you come to the States, you could bring several of those planes with you ... with the pilots of course. :D

Oldfart 11-11-2012 10:20 PM

I'll check my baggage allowance again DB.

I went to a show at Temora, in southern New South Wales. It was a fairly small show by US standards, but everything that flew had a big connection to Oz Aviation. No PF, that does not include flying monkeys.

The pics me took so long to post because I had to do some tidying up of dust and grass on the lens.
