For you Kiwi guys, just a reminder that this coming weekend ( Jan 28 & 29 ) we have the airshow at Tauranga.

http://www.classicflyersnz.com/

I'll be there helping on the flight line with display aircraft parking and flying one of the Stearman in the formation display.

See ya there.

Pete.
 
Thanks for the reminder

It was rumoured that the Hunter might fly at the show.
True?
 
We hope so.

The crew have been hard at work on routine maintenace over the last 3 or 4 weeks. The seat is back in and ready. I think CAA are doing their inspection tomorrow.

We live in hope.

Pete.
 
Will also be there (already have tickets)..can't wait ..especially keen to see the Hunter and Strikemaster, the RNZAF A109 and the usual WW2 stuff (haven't seen the two seat Spitfire yet so this would be a highlight) ...and to try out the new camera at an airshow (finally!)

Hunter
Two Spitfires
Kittyhawk (not sure which one)
Corsair
L-39

Great ..... ask at the shop for me, we'll grab a coffee together.

I've got a few flights over the next couple of days, but if we time it right I'd love to catch up.
