My photos from Classic Fighters and Masterton
Susan and I just got back in Sunday evening from a 2 week stint in NZ. Of course, our main reason for being there was to see airplanes, and see airplanes we did!
The fun started over Easter weekend with the Classic Fighters show. The usuals were there - the Camel, the Nieuport 17, a few tripes, the Pfalz....       more coming...

The Fokker DVII has had a serious overhaul since my last trip down. I was told that in the process of the overhaul, over 200 pounds were removed from the overall weight. Not only does it now look like a proper DVII, but obviously it handles much better now as well. Its such a photogenic airplane! My camera just seemed to want to follow it.

On Wednesday following the show I was treated to a special day at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton. I've got to say that this day now ranks as one the most memorable days of my life!
The photos say it all..... First of all, we ran into the BE2 again at Hood.    more coming...
