T-28 Trojan Pair -- Brett Emeny Saves Best For Last

It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of Brett Emeny, a veritable 'warbird' legend in New Zealand.
This display of Brett's North American T-28 Trojan flying an awesome pairs routine along with the T-28 of Brett's long time aviation friend a co-conspirator Peter Vause, was the last public display performance that Brett made, only a couple of weeks prior to his passing on 3rd May 2023.
Brett and Peter were displaying their aircraft at the Classic Fighters 2023 airshow at Omaka (Blenheim, New Zealand). On Saturday afternoon after their display slot, Brett was overheard saying to Peter that "...we can't do much better than that, Pete' -- indicating he thought the pair had flown a good display. It is Pete's contention that on Sunday, the final day of the show, they did indeed fly an even better display, and it is this that is captured on this video. Indeed it was.
