Unreal. Good shooting but two crew headed to almost certain death. Nasty business that, for sure.Amazing photo of Kiwi AA gunners having just shot down a Stuka in North Africa. This was only recently "discovered" in a former serviceman's photos.

It really is an unbelievably unique and incredible photo. Now a very prized part of the National Army Museum (New Zealand).

Speaking low-level this is a goodie. This was the last fly past on the last day of the RNZAF air combat wing in December 2001.
Jason Easthope did the last beat up of the airfield. He was flying amongst and between the buildings and was pulling at least 7G in every single turn. In fact he threw that A-4K around so much and so hard he destroyed the slats on both wings and it required several weeks of repair. He later did a display for ASTI when they were considering buying the Kiwi Skyhawks and there were several ex-Blue Angels guys who reckoned they'd never seen someone throw an aircraft around like Easty did which is high praise indeed.
He's now with the RAAF.

I'd argue that you wouldn't have as much fun though!

Weeell, I don’t know. I could keep filling the tank on the chopper and have more fun. But my tank, not so sure.
