Sorry, Saturday when you were flying I was way back by the VIP tent and my camera isn't that good. Sunday I didn't even notice when half the acts flew due to the hetic day. I'll get some next year. :)

re. "Red Nose"

here's a photo album of a good friend of mine, Jim Azelton - it shows some interesting details of this particular aircraft.

also check out the other 'walkaround' albums - quite impressive.
