[@kevincook8635]

Wow fantastic footage of Warbirds over Wanaka 2024. On an IPhone 11. I had the privilege in January to get a tour around AVSpecs in Ardmore Auckland and so close to the latest Mossie a beautiful aircraft. Thanks for giving me a look at this air show. You rock

Great footage. The sounds of these planes are amazing. Thanks for posting this.

[@ZacYates]

Thanks for the kind words Chris! I know the zoom and focus aren’t great but I really wanted to capture the sound, so I’m glad that came through!

You’re very welcome Andy, thank you for the kind words. The Avspecs team said they’re already hard at work on Peter Monk’s machine - I’m so excited for you all the other British warbird enthusiasts!!

Nice work! The Mozzie sounds magnificent!

[@ZacYates]

Thank you! And that she does - another triumph by MAR and Avspecs, and what a thrill to see her at Wanaka!

Fanatastic thanks Zac, As an ex South Canturburyian I miss getting down to the SI.

[@ZacYates]

I’m so pleased you liked it! It’s not great but I hope it gives a bit of the flavour of the weekend!

I went too and was like next to the touch down zone but 1 row behind the fence.

Mate this was awesome as they say here. Fab camera angles, great shots, neat editing = wish I could've been there but somehow missed all the global marketing effort!! I only live up the road! [Glenroy].

[@ZacYates]

Thank you for the kind words mate! Nothing fancy here - just my phone, max zoom, and leaning over the fence! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@craigdowden4788]

Thanks Zac Great footage. Just what I would have been watching

[@ZacYates]

You’re so welcome Craig!

[@hamshackleton]

Ah! Merlins!

[@allgood6760]

That is NOT an RNZAF Strikemaster at the beginning look at the camo and markings... cool vid mate 👍🇳🇿✈️

[@ZacYates]

Thanks! We were fortunate to have TWO Blunties - Charles Davis’ RNZAF example from Wellington and Brian Hall’s Royal Saudi AF machine from Christchurch (my first time seeing that one).

@@ZacYates Lucky for some I used to hitch hike to Ohakea just to watch them back in tbe day.. cheers from Wgtn 👍✈️

Something the commentator should know: Waco is an abbreviation of 'Weaver Aircraft Company' and is not pronounced 'Way-co' as is Waco Texas, rather it is pronounced 'Wah-co'.

[@ZacYates]

Unfortunately commentators fluctuated between proununciation, but fear not: the full name of the company was stated each time the aircraft flew 👍

[@johnreally6390]

get a real camera buddy - so much lack of control of the visuals it was painful

[@ZacYates]

I know - when I arrived and realised I’d left the camera at home I was so annoyed! Hopefully the professionals get their stuff out soon 🤞

[@PeterS-r4o]

Go there and film it yourself- buddy.
