Other Planes, 2024

There were many other planes flown at the show, but I tried to spend most time on those I hadn't seen before and hadn't reported in the aircraft section of my web site: mainly the F16 and Mosquito. This is a KC-135 Stratotanker, used for refuelling other aircraft (not done at the show though).

L39s

These are the Aero L-39 Albatros jet trainers, which were used by the "American Eagles" Jet Formation Aerobatic Team from the USA, parked in the jet area before being flown. They are relatively cheap to buy and run, and are popular all over the world with private owners and aerobatic jet teams.

Old Biplanes

Here are a few older aircraft flying over in formation, titled "Classics of the 1930s". The bigger biplane on left is a DH Dominie DH.89 Dragon Rapide.

Spartan Interior

The Royal Australian Air Force brought a Leonardo C27J Spartan, which was parked for inspection during the day, but I didn't see it flying. The RAAF has 10 of them and they are used for to support humanitarian missions in remote locations.

Spartan and Nicole

Here is my expert assistant (and daughter) Nicole standing next to the Spartan. She doesn't really know much about planes, but provided some quite good videos when I was too busy taking stills.

The Corsair and the two Mustangs have appeared at (almost?) every show at Wanaka. This movie shows them flying over near the end of the show.
