Nice snaps, Mitch. My dad worked on board P-2's during his second hitch in the navy back in '70-'74. I've seen the 8mm films, and they're freakin' cool.

I'm thinking of hopping on a plane to Australia just for your airshow season. Been a bit of a drought here, unfortunately.

Some lovely vintage types there. I think the last time I saw a Neptune was at RAF Topcliffe in 1957.

Could we do an exchange, I would love to see an American airshow. Oshkosh is on my 'to-do' list.
