Re: GREAT NORTH FLY IN VIDEO
Bob, I enjoyed the video, great to see such a mix of aircraft of the sort that I do not see living as I do under Miami's Class B airspace. But can you expand on the hammer and sickle flag, odd overseas military uniforms? I do hope no one was on the wrong end of that large caliber weapon on the truck! To me, this is what light aviation is all about. Flying for Fun indeed.

Re: GREAT NORTH FLY IN VIDEO
Glad you enjoyed the video and yes you have hit the nail on the head, its bringing all aviators together whatever they fly for a fun weekend with a few interesting exhibitors as well. There were two military groups there, the cold war exhibition wearing a variety of Russian 1970s uniforms and Blyth Battery who wear WW2 uniforms and display equipment, all for a bit of fun. The SAS Landrover was owned by a military vehicle club enthusiast and is was equipped with a .50 cal Heavy Machine Gun and A GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun), both deactivated of course.
