A Vought F4U Corsair flying in the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.

Indian Air Force planes heading towards Marina Beach for the air show.
Shot this from my terrace. I couldn't have asked for more. The antenna is of my neighbour.
I had already seen the IAF show @ Nariman Point, Mumbai, 2004. It was awesome, thats why didn't want to go for this show in Chennai today.

The TBM Avenger flew a variety of missions during WWII that included torpedo, bombing, anti-submarine warfare.
We thought he was dead. We all saw his bloody, black bird go down, flames licking his neck like Hell’s own wolves finally allowed to bring down the alpha. There were no chutes. None of us used them back then. He wouldn’t have used one anyway. That would be like admitting he could be shot down. To tell you the truth, most of us believed that he couldn’t be. He was too good, uncanny good. Unholy good. Macky was the one who said it, “guy would have to make a deal with the devil to fly like he does!”
When I saw that skeletal nightmare skimming the trees on it’s way back to whatever hole it flew out of after burning three of our boys, a week after we ‘d celebrated his death, I knew…
Macky had been right.

Two days of flying spits with the great folkds at Aero Legends, day one out of Sywell, and day two out of Headcorn Aerodrome near Kent.
Day 1: First flight was taken out of Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire.
Amazing time flying in drop dead gorgeous Spitfire, for aerobatics, turn at controls, close formation flying with second Spitfire (see pics of second Spitfire from cockpit stills) wheeling over fields and towns of English countryside, under blue skies and broken cloud, with climax of side by side pass down the runway, peeling off, stood up on wingtip, to each side at end, and close formation with T6 for air to air photography.
Pilot is the exemplary 30-year RAF veteran, RAF instructor and great gentleman Flt Lt Charlie Brown, who has 1000+ hours in Spitfires.
Day 2: Amazing time flying in the drop dead gorgeous Spitfire "Elizabeth", for a flight from Headcorn to the Channel coast at Dover, over the RAF memorial, then along white cliffs of Dover in both directions. This was followed by an exhilarating full Spitfire Aerobatics Airshow Routine inland (pilot noted first time he's done with passenger), and then a celebratory Victory Roll over Headcorn Aerodrome.
Pilot was the legendary Flt Lt Antony 'Parky' Parkinson MBE, flying Spitfire Mk IXT NH341 ‘Elizabeth’. Parky was awarded MBE for his work on the Battle of Britain Memorial flights, was a pilot for the Red Arrows, and flew the Euro Fighter Typhoon, F4, Tornado F3, amongst others. Great guy, amazing pilot.
A replica (albeit a functional, flying replica) of Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen's (AKA the Red Baron) red Fokker Dr.I triplane. The greatest Ace of WWI, he is credited with over 80 enemy fighters shot down. Museu TAM da Aviação, São Carlos, SP. F1.8, 1/30, ISO 80, RAW, G15.
Went to the Greenwood Lake Air Show today. They had a bunch of WWII airplanes on display and I got to practice my panning technique. I think I'm getting better because this one was taken without a tripod.
This is the same type of plane flown by the Black Sheep Squadron.
Hope to get more pics posted later tonight or tomorrow.
