Warbirds over Wanaka 2010

This is my report on the Warbirds Over Wanaka Air Show for 2010. I've chosen some of the highlights and more unusual displays for this web site. I used my latest digital camera, a Canon EOS500D with a 75-300 mm (effective focal length almost 500mm) for most of these photos. The 500D also does HD video which I have included (but at a reduced quality).
