Posted in the GA Section first. Feel it better belongs here.

A selection of shots from the Lincoln Aero Club's 55th Anniversary Fly-In at Sturgate. The wind made landing tricky for some but didn't seem to keep the visitors away.

Suddenly the wind gusted and a ground loop almost developed. The wingtip struck the ground but fortunately the pilot recovered.

Hi Andrew

Nice shots there, you beat me to posting! I think G-BLDD had a very lucky escape!

I'll see if I can find some different shots from the day & post them a bit later

Cheers,

Great captures of the dramas there fella!
