2x Chinook
2x Apache
2x Alouette's
2X Puma( Cougar)

3x Lynx

followed by th historical part consisting of

Beech 18 with 2 Harvardfs in formation

B-25 with A spit in formation...

After that 7x Pilatus pc-7's 3x dark and 4x Yellow who were changing formation over my house..

After that a Fokker 50 and a Gulfstream V in formation

One KDC-10 with extended boom

Really Really cool!

Wow, that sounds very cool! 8)

The biggest thing I've seen (non airshow) was last year, when 4 RDAF Chippies flew over my local church, and finished off by doing the "Lost Wingman" maneuver, to honour a RDAF Lt.Col.
He had passed away the day before Karup Airshow 2005, during practicing for the show.

Sad day, but a beautiful funeral to have. Cry

Sounds a bit like the national defilé in Belgium, where they show the army's planes. They flew over my house 3 days in a row. If they do it this year, I'll be ready with my camera!

Must have been quite the show soui! Very nice mix of old and new...

The really cool thing was that they all flew in some kind of formation ( except for the lone kdc-10)

Even the choppers were all in formation!

I saw two of the three lynxes again + the Mitchell and Spit and heard the Harvards and the beech!

I really like the sound of the harvards!
