Skywatch Friday - The ups and downs of flying

Seeing that this is my week for aircraft my Skywatch theme today is a Boeing Stearman (ZU-BED) being taken through her paces at the Port Elizabeth airshow.

Here she comes for her first manoeuvre..........


Going up and coming down.....................if I was in there I am not so sure that my breakfast would still be were it should be.

  
And now it's time to leave.


Visit Skywatch for more pictures from around the world.

    GREAT! I haven't seen an air show for a long time so it's neat to see a bit of this one.

    It was really a pity that the sky wasn't blue that day.

    Wow, that must have been fun to watch! Great shots-- I think mine would have all been of empty sky, as I have the bad habit of pushing the button too late!

    What goes up must come down too. That was a hilarious combination.
