Roskilde Air Show 2015

[Finkeren]

Went today with the family and my brother-in-law and nephew.

 

Was pleasantly surprised at how excited the kids were. Even the wife had fun

 

I took some pictures. I only had my old phone and I am not a good photographer, so don't expect anything like what some other guys here have posted. Not a single of the in-flight pics turned out even remotely acceptable.

 

Anyway, I promised in another thread, that I'd post pictures, so here goes:

 

 

Spitfire Mk. XVI

 

 

A horrible bastardised Yak-3 airframe

 

 

P-51D

 

 

 

'Rote Sieben'

 

 

DC-3

Nice,

 

but is that Yak 3 just a Yak 11,   quite a few of the Yak 3's flying today were created/re-engineered from Yak-11 , they shared many airframe similarities

No Idea why that Spitfire pic came out upside down

 

Here's the pic turned around right:

 

 

And a few more:

 

 

Whatever this is...

 

 

 

The four Texans/HArvards gave a good show.

 

 

As did these adorable little Chipmunks.

 

 

These guys made it their mission to drive around making sure people didn't pay attention to the show

 

 

Three of the reasons, a plane like Rote Sieben is such a rare sight today

 

And finally:

 

 

My two-year-old with her very first scale model WW2 warbird. I had promised myself I wouldn't buy her anything, but when she picked out an La-5FN all by herself (from quite a broad selection) I just had to give in

Nice,

 

but is that Yak 3 just a Yak 11,   quite a few of the Yak 3's flying today were created/re-engineered from Yak-11 , they shared many airframe similarities

Ah ok. Good to know   Glad they didn't maim a real Yak like that. The airframe itself looks the part though.

Fantastic photos.  Your daughter has excellent taste too. 

Thats the smallest La5 I've seen, is it a known scale?  I only ask as I'm rather partial to 1/144th... 

[Finkeren]

Yeah it's to scale (And rather precisely made for such a small cast metal model)

 

Strangely, the models made by that company came in a wide variety of scales which were all fairly close to each other. The La-5 I bought was in 1:103 while the Yak-3 of the same series was in 1:113.

Nice photos!
