Hopefully the flying routines are on in the afternoon, I have to work in the morning. Is it just the Sunday? Or the Saturday as well?

[Captain_Hamish]

yeah it is only the sunday and it starts at 10.00am but i thing the flying display starts at 11.00am but if it is like last year they had the flying display in morning iroqouis and red checkers and then in afternoon they had another flying display on which was the bigger aircraft which was the orion but this year there is alot more on but if you miss the flying display let me know cause i will have my video camera there taping it all and i will put it on to dvd and i have just got a new microphone for the video camera so i get good sound and it blocks the wind out so just let me know if u want a copy of it and also if i here anymore i will let u know

the boeing 757 and herc will be stationed at nzch on saturday and the iroqouis, seasprite and red checkers will be stationed at wigram and on the sunday the herc will fly in to wigram on sunday morning and park up there till the flying display starts and at the moment there is a little bit of confusion if the 757 will do a full display or just a fly past but i will let u know when confirmed

[AlisterC]

Cool, thanks Hamish. I might have to go there straight after work if I'm to catch anything. Do you know if they are having the King Air there?

[Ian Warren]

I really like those Seasprites , wonder if I could get a ride , go round and round and round and round

[Captain_Hamish]

they never say they will have king air there but time after time it is there and they never do display they just on static display

[Bluebird]

hey

Are we going to get RAAF FA18 or f111 now that would be a airshow then??





or what about the usaf Thunderbirds??

[Captain_Hamish]

lol yeah it would but uit won't happen, expect that at the next warbirds over wanaka airshow but u won't get at wigram cause to many people over by where ian warren is complains about the noise, it hurts there ears and that was just with the orion lol imagine the f111 through there lol it will fix the problem it will make them deaf so they can't hear any noise lol

[Captain_Hamish]
