Sunday was fine and clear with light winds, and that’s when it got busy. Each pilot is allowed up to three judged flights, and the flight line was very busy all morning. The judges were worked hard, and at times struggled to complete the paperwork. Mark Woodgate did a great job managing the flight line with the finesse of an Air Traffic Controller. The fantastic weather left no excuse the quality of the flying.

Entries included: PT17 Stearman, DH82 Tiger Moth, P51 Mustang, T28 Trojan, Fokker Eindecker, Fokker D7, F8F Bearcat, OH58 Kiawa, Sparrowhawk, Yak 25, Sukoi 26, Cap 232, BE2, MXRS, DHC1 Chipmunk, Eurofighter Typhoon, PT19, L39 Albatross, Gumman Duck, Percival Proctor, and Transavia PL12 Airtruk.

A couple of unfortunate crashes on Sunday for Richard Symes’ beautiful F4U Corsair due to a structural failure in flight, and Will Sipma’s Transavia Airtruk, which stalled on take-off but was not able to recover despite a huge effort from Will.
