Warbirds over Wanaka 2010

I posted this in the FS2004 forum, but meant to post here: :isadizzy:
Gavin Conroy has put up a number of photos (http://nzff.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=11721) of this year's WOW.
I didn't get there, but this is almost as good.
Better in some ways, actually.
He is the most amazing photographer...
The Zero is one of only two flying, apparently.

I saw those too, and I agree about Gavin's work, I have always been a big fan of his. The Zero was shipped in all the way from California, just for the show, owned and operated by the Commemorative Air Force. While there are about 4 Zero's (that can actually be considered of original design) that are operational in the U.S., this and the Planes of Fame example are the only ones that fly at such a routine level as they do.

One of the items that I heard was rather unique to this show, is that the New Zealand-based P-40, fitted with blank, live-firing guns, fired upon the Zero on a pass or two, adding a bit of realism to the typical 'dogfight' passes!
