The calm before the show.

A great day was had by all on Sunday with hundreds turning out at the Classic Flyers NZ Aero day at Tauranga. On show was a range of static aircraft with air displays from the Yak-52 formation team, the Roaring Forties and RNZAF Black Falcons. Thank you to photographer Paul who sent these through. Looks like it was a great day!

It’s always privilege to commemorate such an historic day in aircraft of the same era.

Good news for NZ warbird enthusiasts with the confirmation that the FG-1D Corsair ZK-COR took to the skies yesterday after a 6 year hiatus in storage.
Newly rated Corsair pilot Frank Parker took this picture yesterday of his view flying the historic fighter to Omaka from Hood Aerodrome.
We can’t wait to see this aircraft performing at airshows again! It’s been long over due.

Another photo from Warbirds on Parade 2023. Strikemaster 72 in the hands of pilot and owner Charles Davies showing off those classic Blunty lines. 😍
It has been awesome having this machine on display at NZ Warbirds at Ardmore while it has received some maintenance from the team at Pioneer Aero.

It wasn’t all about the action in the air at Warbirds in Parade 2023. A big thank you to the @militaryaviationmuseum who allowed us to show the preserved fuselage of their upcoming Douglas SBD Dauntless project which is being restored by a joint team effort involving Pioneer Aero at Ardmore and Aero Trader at Chino back in California.
