Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 3:33 pmYou may have seen some NZR aircraft flying around New Zealand lately and I thought I’d tell you a bit about the group. The NZR or Virtual New Zealand Relief Force will be helping protect and ensure the survival of New Zealand’s interests regionally and overseas. This will be done through operations and events in where the members are more than welcome to join in.
This Air Group will be initially flying the Royal New Zealand Airforce aircraft, including but not limited to the Hercules, Orion's, NH90 Helicopters and the Air Trainers which will be in use to help new members, upon request, become familiar with New Zealand flying procedures. We also have systems in place so you can fly other aircraft, which are not in the fleet, for this Air Group. Plus even ways to suggest new aircraft for the fleet. We are currently looking into adding Boeings and Airbuses to our international routes and Fighter jets for some of our "Military" relief efforts.
This Air Group is rather different in the way we do things, I would even say dynamic, because we are constantly moving forward in terms of events and operations that you can participate in. There is no counting of hours, and no letting you go if you don’t put enough in, you can fly as little or as much as you would like. We encourage flying the operations specified for each airbase but you may fly other routes at anytime under this air group's callsign. There are however incentives to flying the operations provided, such as changes in reputations towards this Air Group from regions of New Zealand and overseas. Also Bases of operations and facility bases opening up and closing due to flights and operations to and from these bases, and reputations will be taken into account when placing our facilities.
Currently we are based out of Christchurch and are trying to establish bases of operations in Ohakea and Whenuapai, along with a repair facility at Woodbourne. We currently have operations to the West Coast, Antarctica and the Chattams, and our first event on the 30th of December where we will be flying Alcohol into Gisborne for new years, and this is just the beginning
Feel free to come check it out and join up at this address.
