Warbirds over Wanaka 2018

So this weekend just gone ( Easter weekend, 2018 ) we attended the Warbirds over Wanaka, 30th anniversary edition.

We bought the 3 day Silver pass ( $279 ea ) which gave us access to the airfield on the Practice Friday, and both show days, Saturday and Sunday, and access on all 3 days to the Silver stand at the north end of the paddock area.

Below are a collection of the best photos I took on Sunday 1 April.
