Wings Over Illawarra Airshow - 2022 Highlights - Super Constellation, Canberra, Warbirds, F-35

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks for watching everyone. Apologies if I missed something you were keen to see. I can't use much of the acrobatic footage as the background music will cause a copyright infringement. And I had battery issues so I had to leave some juice left for the F-35 hence why I missed a few like the Harvard. Next year I'll be better organised!

[@Aviation_Videos]

yeah i hate that but i was kinda lucky to be next to the runway haha let me know next time if you go and ill try and make some magic

[@randall.3189]

Was an awesome show, that F35 was something else 👍 I swear I can still smell aircraft fuel 🤣

[@stephenholden3385]

Really enjoyed the video. What a great show. So nice to see participating at sensible heights rather than far to high as here in the UK

[@artdrayton229]

Thanks Paul ... amazing footage. I couldn't be there this year, so very happy I found your vid. Thanks again!

[@simonolsen9995]

I glimpsed just a fraction of a second's worth of Boomerang at the end of the Balbo taxi-in. Some footage of that, and more of the P40, would have been really great. But thanks anyway and well done.

[@andrewrobinson5837]

Just came back from both days here and it was superb. The Constellation, the Canberra, and the Hudson.....only place where you can see them fly. The program was just packed and the exhibits amazing. Can't wait for 2023!!

[@randall.3189]

I'd Go over seas on Connie 👍

[@janetbruce2430]

Some great footage Paul of a very special event. My favourite is "Connie" - including footage of the outer right propeller beginning rotating and smoke and flames belching out of the exhaust. The propellor became a circular blur as more and more of the 18 cylinders in the radial engine began firing. Soon all four engines were running sweetly and the plane taxied to the north end of the runway readying for takeoff. Then the four engines were throttled up to near maximum power, each generating near 3,400 hp and soon the plane was accelerating swiftly down the runway and rose gently into the air. A wonderful sight for all us aircraft enthusiasts!

[@alanh7495]

So good to see a Constellation flying, surely the most beautiful airliner of the prop era.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Great video Paul. Just came back from the show myself. It was awesome

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Cheers! Yes it was!

[@HDMelbourneAviation]

What a great show it was! It was a pleasure to meet you out there again! You got some great vision down at the media area, particularly of the P3.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Cheers Matt - yes, nice meeting you!

[@ravinghomo]

How wonderful to see the only Super Constellation I've ever been aboard fired up and flying. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@mike9347]

Awesome. I've been up in a Pitt Special and I asked the Driver to give me the works. He did !! David Forsyth of Forsyth Aviation, Parafield, SA.

Was there Saturday and loved it. I enjoy flying in there in my Littlebird and visiting the guys at HARS.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Nice! Saturday was a perfect day for an airshow

[@antiussentiment]

Really fabulous stuff. Seeing a Canberra fly by was a highlight for me. Thanks for sharing Paul.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it! Agreed - I was especially excited to see the Canberra having never seen one fly. I wish it landed and took off, but we can't have everything :)

[@747kp7]

That smokey start from Connie was just awesome! Thanks Paul

Excellent production Paul, well shot and edited. Thank you! Also a big shout out to HARS and their volunteers for putting the show together and the incredible fleet they have flying capped with the Connie. and also to all the other aircraft, pilots and their organisations. What a mighty display of types. The warbird balbo was amazing!!!

[@fatbudgiekillen8997]

I only found out the show was on a few days before,by which time it was too late to make plans, but Paul saves the day, great highlights. Thanks Paul.

[@arthurthomasware5004]

What a privilege to see and hear old those aircraft from the bygone era. As a former aeradio operator 1960-71, a lot of those aircraft were still operational in my days with the now defunct D.C.A. Also, I ran recall an RAAF Orion doing three passes over Macquarie Island when I was there in 1977 as it dropped three storpedoes to us expeditioners, marooned for a year.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Absolutely! It was a great show!

[@Rickxta]

Great coverage, thank you!

[@graemebdh2172]

Fantastic footage Paul. Great shots of some marvellous aircraft. HARS does brilliant work. I used to live near there and was lucky enough to be on the first publicity flight of the Connie after they received it. She is just a beautiful bird. Thanks again.

Thanks Graham! You’re very lucky to fly onboard!

Looked like a great airshow, wished I was there but thanks for your efforts I felt that I was there! Fantastic!

[@PaulStewartAviation]

[@michaelbeloff3505]

Awesome! Love those radials whistling. The F-35 is too cool. I flew a USAF KC-135A 43 years ago, but the F-117 was Top Secret then. Now look at what Lockheed has in the Lightning II. It has everything, supersonic, battle management, excellent radar, situation awareness like never before (see-thru the fuselage all around in any weather day or night) and is very stealthy. Happy to see that you folks fly it.

[@stevetemby4982]

Great footage Paul, another outstanding video.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joshd95]

Hey Paul thanks so much for the compilation! I was working on the Matt Hall racing stand both days and you certainly picked the best day on Saturday!

[@joshd95]

The Canberra was my favourite aircraft. Very cool, my first time seeing one flying.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Cheers Josh! Yes Saturday was a cracker. Even the cloud in the afternoon was OK as it blocked the sunlight which would have been directly in our faces. And yes it was the first time I saw the Canberra fly too. I wish it landed, though.

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Paul fantastic as always

[@Hukahey]

Thanks Paul and the Canberra Bomber wasn’t flying on Sunday so great footage.

The Constellation is one plane I wish I could fly in. I normally hate flying - chicken, and today's airliners are just too damn uncomfortable, but I would probably like a Connie. Adequate leg room, window in exactly the right place, wide enough seats. Guess all I can do is wish.

[@jimclarke1108]

Connie, best looking plane in the sky, and on the ground

[@timweather3847]

I remember watching a Constellation, TWA I think, taking off from Heathrow in the 1950s and thinking it was never going to get off the ground. It did, of course, though with not much clearance at the end of the runway.

[@erniecox3524]

In the 1950s I lived near the Rockhampton QLD airport when a Canberra bomber landed so later I got on my bike to take a look. It was parked in the GA area so I was able to ride over to take a look. I had made an emergency landing with a hole in the bubble canopy about 150mm diameter. I was surprised as it had a double canopy with both with a hole. I bet it would have been awful noisy in there. My Dad flew bombers in Bomber Command so I always had an interest in all things aviation. I eventually got a PPL.
