Hey Kiwiflieger, should be a great day. I'll be there on Sunday too.
Travelling with a crew of about five.
My wife's sister who is coming with us, is actually an aircraft nut. So there was no out for my wife on this one!
Would be great to link up, I'll send you a PM with my mobile. Just drop me a txt on the day if it suits.

Hey...well done, Nork! Duxford...Wanaka....you're rackin 'em up! Great stuff!
As you know, I was in Wanaka about a month ago, visiting the Warbirds and Wheels Museum and heard about the Wanaka Airshow. Too bad I couldn't hang around to join you...would have loved to, because New Zealand does so well keeping the warbirds airworthy and is such a beautiful country. We loved the kiwi's, too!
I hope you and Kiwi get to meet up and I'm sure you'll all have a brilliant day! Really looking forward to the pictures! Salute!
Hey Nork, Is that your Go Pro footage of how you got over the ditch mate?
Hope you brought a fresh supply of Kangaroo nut sacks for Kiwi!
Enjoy guys, hope you get to meet up.

Meeting you and the other guys at Duxford was just awesome Marlo. Really hope to do it again one day.
Pat, i must concede, you did pretty well on the pictures at Scone and got lucky with the weather.
Its looking pretty fine here in Christchurch this morning.
We are finally on the road to Wanaka today.

Apparently a Yak-3 crashed into a piece of machinery while landing at this show. Too bad, it seems the right wing is totally ripped off.

What a beautiful location for an airshow. "and if you look to your right ladies and gentleman, here comes the mustang doing a live strafing run, his target for today is a large badly placed orange cherrypicker" dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka!
The Yak crash happened on the Saturday so I didn't see it - sounds like the cherrypicker wasn't meant to be there (obviously) and the pilot had the big inline engine in front of him so couldn't see in front too well - just the same way we don't see those control towers on final. Glad the pilot was uninjured though.
Nork - it was a real pleasure meeting you and seeing another Cliffs virtual pilot in the flesh.

Hey guys, back to civilisation (and wifi signal, yay) what a show!
The weather was perfect, the company superb and the aircraft, well here's a few picks judge for yourselves.
Have to add, the F16 was judged by myself and Kiwiflieger, as the most impressive display on the day!
Enjoy the pics!
