Roulettes are up now Hornets are taxing out, so it's good for the ones who stuck around. Trust me earlier chasing stuff down the flight line was not fun!

Roulettes didn't display.
And the Sabre looked liked it was damaged during the landing.
Almost touched the right wingtip on the ground after a bounce. Big smoke from the left main gear for a good couple of hundred metres too. And was parked at the northern end of the field as we left.

I noticed the Sabre parked up when I was driving to work and thought it a strange place to stop.

Were the Connie and Caribou off-limits for the public? They were parked at the western end of 08/26 late in the day.

There must have been a good reason for that. Connie on display is a staple part of airshows on the east coast these days.

She was supposed to fly Nigel. But the wind didn't allow. Maybe they kept it there just incase.

Yeah, the wind blew and I got some sleep in between night shifts, so not all was lost

There's a reason it didn't go up.
