North American Harvard - 75 years young

The New Zealand Warbirds Association, based at Auckland's Ardmore Airport, hosted a flying event on Sunday 24 November to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the North American Harvard - an aircraft with a long NZ history and well recognised by its distinctive sound. 

We'll not burble on, just share some of the photos taken during the third flying segment of the day.  The first segment was to have included (per the programme) displays by a Zlin, Spitfire, Roaring 40's (Harvard aerobatic team), Giles, Airtrainer and Chipmunk.  The second segment saw the P40 Kittyhawk, Harvard, MX2, Yak 52's, Strikmaster and L39 fly. 

The third segment, as seen below, included the two Yak 52's, 9 Harvards, P40 and Spitfire and a mock ground battle with a bunch of enthusiastic and noisy "soldiers".
