The Aerobatic Yakkers from Romania. Experimental aircraft as have normal
Yak52's have been converted to tail draggers. Nice routine. |
Red Bull Bo105 from Germany, showing that choppers
can go upside down...! |

|
Jurgis Kairys' ride, decorated for the TinStix of dynamite (see later
on...!) His solo routine has an amount of time climbing, so he has two girls
dance for the crowd to keep them entertained (Lithuanian lovelies do the
trick- one seen posing on top before his display) |

|
Team Pioneer - A team of Microlights (yes - microlights, but with GPS,
retractable gear & an autopilot...!) from Italy. Nice little plane, fitted
with smoke, flares & coloured smoke pods under the wings to paint the
rainbow at the end of their display...! |

Skip Stewart from the USA in his supped up Pitts Special. (a fitting
replacement for the sad loss of Jim LeRoy)
Skip takes off on the taxiway infront of the crown, and tips a wing down to
within 50cm of the ground....! Ribbon cuts are also flown and the final pass
is again a couple of metres off of the ground on his side....lots of
rudder...! |
