Nice Pics! I love the ones of the Mossie, she's just static I guess?

She's fully functional as far as I know. I guess they turn the engine over every now and then and let her run for a bit just to make sure everything works but they haven't taken her up in a long time(from what I was told).

I can only imagine what a p.i.t.a. it is to keep a 60+ year old wooden aircraft in flyable condition..

She sure is beautiful though... I'd kill to see her in the air.

I only wish I was a better camera man with a better camera.. lol

Nice photos! I wish there was such an airshow on Hungary

Great photos! The sabre and mossie are quite cool
That is quite a collection of warbirds, where is this at?

EAA Airventure in Oshkosh Wisconsin(USA). It's only an hour from where I live so, of course, I go every year.

It's the biggest airshow in the world, as far as I know. Just smaller than the one in France. The one is France is more of a giant infomercial for the industry to show their new technology off so that doesn't really count..

The last Mossie I saw flying was in 1996 in Duxford, sadly she wen't down and was lost in 1997 a couple of days earlier a P38 was lost to. They said at the time that it was the last flyable Mossie, but that was ten years ago.

Keep the shinny side up and the dirty side down!
