Flying Legends Airshow Duxford

Flying Legends 2007 was the 3rd time we visited Duxford. This year we videotaped a whole lot of material. This material has been edited and cut into many small pieces of video. For 2007 we're letting these videoes do the talking and give you some of the atmosphere from this historic airfield. To save bandwidth and costs we have put all the videoes up on youtube. You can watch them from there. If you have a good connection more than one video can be shows at a time.

This year one of the biggest question marks was the weather. Luckily, after months of rain and bad weather n large parts of England, the clouds cleared and superb weather for flying showed up just as ordered. Norwegian contributions are usually to be found at Flying Legends, and this year P-51 Mustang Old Crow from Scandinavian Historic Flight and Dakota Norway were displayed in perfection. The Dakota was indeed highly polished and with the sun reflecting on the silver airframe you cannot help but be impressed. The aircraft are also in top notch condition

The Spitfires are flown for a relatively short amount of time for their display. The costs are high to keep themflying and you can tell by how much time they spend with them in the air.

This year some modern jet noise was also to be heard over the airfield when an American F-15 were invited to do a display alongside the Airacobra and a P-51. It's impressive to watch how well they time it all with music, flypasts and a commentator who keeps the pace. Americans knows how to put on a good patriotic show. Good entertainment! Some people were not happy about allowing jet fighters onto the show but nevertheless it was impressive to watch.
