Notodden airshow 2006
from Jojo's diary

DAY .. 9.september 2006
Me and my son went for a little drive to one of the biggest airshows in Norway. We arrived a bit late (at 13:00) and got start number 66. Weather was great with sunshine and so warm that shorts was needed.. I took my Katana 2M electro and the Venture heli. Got some nice pictures with the Venture and the Katana got one flight before they ended the flying at 16:00 (they took away the frequency pins). Great show with lots of action and some crashes (yes always exiting for spectators... sorry :-). One 4 motor B17 crashed last year but crashed agin this year. The little I could see sounded like the engines was not stable. Interference from ignition? Anyhow a sad wreck. The other one I could see was while I flew myself. I flew a flyby together with Mustang? or Spitfire? and I was a few meters behind him when it suddenly went straight into the deck. scrubadubbdubb. Nice airshow and good hotdogs. Never tried the waffles as they were empty...
