Yes guys its that time of the year again. For the last 2 years I have brought you photos from this nice little airshow down at Wollongong (YWOL) airport. Its a chance for the HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) crew to fly there wonderful collection. The weather held off for most of the day making for a great days flying. Please enjoy the photos...

And what better way to start off then with the flagship of the HARS fleet (and my fav aircraft, incase you forgot) the Lockheed Constellation. I'm sure you will all appreciate the huge effort that goes into making this beaut fly and for the record, its currently the worlds only airworthy Super Constellation. Wink

Lovely smokey start, note the flame to the right

Part 2

Thanks for looking.

Cheers
Mitch

Nice pics. They bring back pleasant memories of when I was a young spotter in short trousers. Smiley

Come to think of it, apart from my age things haven't changed much. Cheesy
