Melissa Pemberton side-slips over Avalon’s Rwy 18 in Zivko Edge 540 VH-IIG Cn 0019 (with Skip Stewart in ‘Flaming’ Pitts S-2S Special N540S ‘tail-gating’ in opposite side-slip at rear), just before Rich Gibson’s trademark ‘Wall of Fire’ made a spectacular fiery backdrop.

I could feel the heat from the crowd-line, so the pilots must feel like toast, when flying so close to the flames. This photo was taken at the 2013 Avalon International Airshow on Friday 01Mar2013.
