T-6 ground mishaps in NZ

[cyberpilot]

As Scott has mentioned, the T-6 can be a handful on the ground even for highly experienced pilots.
Check out the link below.
The two aircraft in question belong to the Roaring Forties aerobatic team and were taking part in the Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow over Easter weekend.
I suspect the pilots were caught out by a gusting cross wind.

Hi CB , John 'Bomber 12th" pointed this out last night .. talk about international ATC ... the current paint I'm working is very similar to NZ1057 , just happens to be the Wigram Gate Guardian NZ1050 ... maybe another paint so we can practice our wheels up landings
