• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Check out this footage.

I had seen a different version with Gene DeMarco talking about flying the Camel, but hadn't seen this one before. This is pure flying footage, with awesome in-flight closeups of the Camel. Notice the high angle of attack of the Spitfire as she tries to slow down enough to keep pace with the Camel.

Also some other great still photos on the site from the Wanaka 2008 show.
 
Awesome indeed!

Wow thanks for that link!
A.o.t on Spit is hilarious, must've only been running on 6 eh?
Incredible sound & footage.

Full cred to the lads from Unzud! (NZ).
They are really bunging it on with the crates these days!
CheerZ!
