Nice pics, interesting mix of aircraft too huh. Jeeze its a shame it wasnt more widely promoted, was it kinda hooked up with the Balloons over Waikato thing? We had the three Alpha's fly over our house in Dinsdale at about the same time the balloons were doin their thing

I had no idea about it, and having missed the Whenuapai airshow a week earlier I'd have been doubly keen ...

Ah well.

Bugger HCP i was only out there for a hour and yes you should have called me ,,

Sadly i didnt meet any of the pilots out there and only quickly caught up with matt up at the tower ,, it wasent really a huge show just well fill with a good range of aircraft something Hamilton Airport is good for ,my Fav AC there would have to of been the westpac air ambo ,real smooth looking ..

Not sure about the promoting of the show ,we just seen the aircraft flying over and rung the breeze radio station and got the info ,they said it had been on the radio all week ?? i didnt hear it
