Hi Everyone,
As I mentioned in the thread regarding the new F6F Hellcat acquired by Fagen Fighters, I’ve recently been editing my video footage of the Planes of Fame 2006 Airshow - featuring 3 flying F6F Hellcats.
I have finished the process of editing all the video footage from the 2 days and have posted the videos, along with still photos, to my SmugMug site.
2006 POF Airshow Link:
http://www.vgbimages.com/AirShows/2006- ... w/n-S7jbJZThe total footage for the Saturday clocks in at just under an hour of video - broken up into 3 segments to conform to SmugMug video size restrictions. Part 1 starts with footage of the statics and moves into action around 2:30.
It was a blast to relive the show - our FIRST ever POF airshow - and revisit the opening ceremony flyover of the P-26, AT-12, P-51 and F-86 formation, F2G Super Corsair acrobatics, the Fairey Firefly, all sorts of Warbirds, the 23 strong Warbird gaggle and an unobstructed taxiway.
For the F6F fans, the Saturday 5/20/06 footage of the Hellcats in action is as follows:
Pond F6F taxis by in Part 1 around 17:42 and takes to the skies in Part 2 around 1:58.
Friedkin F6F taxis by in Part 2 around 18:48 and flies in Part 3 around 1:43 and the CAF F6F “Minsi III” taxis by in Part 3 around 7:48 followed immediately by the Friedkin F6F around 7:51. “Minsi III” starts take off roll in Part 3 around 10:46 and Friedkin F6F around 12:01.
Sunday’s videos total around 26 minutes broken up into 2 videos - the first of which is airshow action and the second is post-show departures and such.
Sunday’s footage shows the CAF and Friedkin F6Fs but not the Pond - we arrived late for Sunday’s show.
A few still photo teasers:
Enjoy!
