Classic Fighters 2009 #8: Nanchang CJ6 from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
I quite like the Chinese designed/built Nanchang CJ6. Originally designed as a Chinese military ab-initio trainer, this type has gained in popularity in the west as a fairly inexpensive warbird, and after a short flight in one a couple of months ago, I have to say that it is a nice plane to fly…

Classic Fighters 2009 #9: Vincent Aviation Dash-8 from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by noreply@blogger.com (Rodney)
Another of the more modern displaying was this Vincent Aviation De Havilland Canada DHC-8-102, ZK-VAC. The display showed off the capabilities of a lightly loaded airliner, with a number of takeoffs and landings, all on the short [700 meter, approximate] runway 25…

Classic Fighters 2009 #10: Douglas DC3 Dakota from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
The Douglas DC3 is very recognisable as both a World War 2 military transport aircraft and as a post-war civilian airliner. This particular aircraft was one of two DC3's at the airshow [I'm not sure, but I think that the other aircraft was ZK-AMY], but was the only one I saw flying…

Classic Fighters 2009 #11: Kiwi Blue from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney

Classic Fighters 2009 #12: Bell 47 Sioux from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney

Classic Fighters 2009 #13: Bell UH-1H Iroquois from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
The Bell UH-1H Iroquois is the RNZAF's main helicopter, and, like the Bell 47 Sioux, put on a good display for the crowd. This included the low-level approach from the south followed by demonstrations of their manoeuvrability. Unfortunately no dropping of cars or rappelling troops this time…

Classic Fighters 2009 #14: Messerschmitt Bf108/Nord 1002 Taifun from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
The next aircraft in this series is the Messerschmitt Bf 108/Nord 1002 Taifun, ZK-WFI. This aircraft is specifically a Nord 1002 which is a post-war version of the same aircraft…
