Warbirds over Wanaka

Okay, so I got a bit carried away, and pulled the trigger on about 700-odd shots at Warbirds. But I think I got a few nice ones, certainly enough for me to look forward to a few winter evenings rugged up in front of Photoshop. The event was great, well run, wide range of planes, etc, and even though the weather on the day we went wasn't great (and it was cold!), we had a great spot just beside the runway itself, and got to see a lot of the planes up close. We also headed up Mt. Irons nearer Wanaka itself on the other flying day, which gave us a different perspective on the planes and parachutists above the airfield.
