Bloody big radial engine & no... just a back seat passenger making the most of a spur of the moment offer from Brett Emeny ( a warbirds pilot with interests in the Catalina, Vampire & Yak 52 like the one in the pics)
I think I have seen those perform at Warbirds over Omaka. If they did, they are bloody skilled pilots! You lucky bugger to be flying with them
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Who do you know in NZ with a Yak 52?Originally Posted by nadroj
awesome pics!
I only posted this because of the global economic crisis
Mate youre lucky. I didnt know there were any warbirds out in the Naki...the photo of the mountain is awesome.
"If life gives you a shit sandwich..." someone please complete this expression
Kevin Jane, John Street & Brett Emeny are 3 Yak 52 owners in the naki I know of. There's also a couple of Vampires, an Albatros and a Delphin (all jets) based in New Plymouth and the Catalina is here at the moment for some general maintenence.
