Airshow in Providenciales

It was a spontaneous airshow. A group of vintage aircraft passing through Provo put on stunning performances overhead the airport and I have a few snapshots which I’d like to share with you. Could this be a precursor to a new kind of tourist attraction in the Turks and Caicos Islands? Let’s see what power these photos have.




It was spontaneous and caught all of us by surprise. A group of vintage aircraft passing through Provo last week on a fuel stop created a buzz when they put on stunning performances overhead the airport. The airshow [and I’m using the term loosely] lasted just a few minutes but I was lucky enough to get a few snapshots which I’d like to share with you.

Lovely pictures - they are beautiful machines. My favourite is F4U Corsair painted in blue, makes me wonder how difficult it must have been to fly them in the battle.
