I'll definitely be there -- took me a while to decide, sorry to muck you around, Doug, but for some reason Easter is always difficult to organise. Too many kids, wives, ex-wives...
Still, the kids are now grown up, and all the wives are exes, so it should be easier this year:)

I'm thinking about flying in with Air NZ Friday evening, camping overnight at Omaka, then returning to Auckland Friday afternoon from Woodbourne, since my original 172 flight plan fell through.

If anyone knows of cheap (of free tongue.gif) transport between the two airports, please PM me asap!

EDIT: Disregard. Have sorted a ride and also have a backup plan. Thanks team, see ya there smile.gif

I am hoping like crazy I'll be there for the saturday, but it is possible I'll be there sunday only. I won't be able to attend an after match function as I'll be with my Dad, brother, and brother in law. But, keen as to meet up at lunchtime on one of the days. They can hang out on their own during the show if required, but won't be so keen to hang around for me to chat flight sim afterwards.
So you there at some point smile.gif I know where Doug's place is (will they let us out and back in again?)

Normally when you enter the airshow you will get a wrist band and as long as you have the right day coloured band on you can leave and get back into the airshow without any problems.
