You can smell the fuel in the air as the the Classic fighters airshow is nearly ready to roll.

Everyones favourite the P51 D Mustang.

There’s rumour about that 7 of these Fokker  Dr-1 triplanes painted in the the colours of the "Red Barons" squadron  Jasta 11 will be flying this Easter at Omaka. I’m going to be there to see if this is so – are you?  In addition we’ll see the Nieuport 24 of Gilbert Discours (seen as a static
aircraft in 2005), the recently imported Fokker D.VII of Johann Janzen, and
finally the rotary engined Nieuport 11 flown by Italian Alvaro Leonardi.

These Harvard trainers put on an awsome display at our pre Christmas aerial display.

Maybe this is the mystery plane.

The Bristol Freighter wind vane will be our guide on the day.

The Marlborough landscape really makes this show along with the many volunteers and organisers, Watch this space for a selection of scenes from the show at Easter 2007 at Omaka, New Zealands oldest air club.
