Was given a heads up by the team that they were doing some practice at WB so went a long for a quick look.

Nice flying and a couple of new moves for the upcoming season.

Have just added a few photos to my website so you can see what they are up to next season.
Didnt photograph all of the practice as I just watched some of it instead of starting into the camera.

I saw them yesterday at Taupo after I completed the 160km Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge. Unfortunately due to low cloud cover they had to do their "low show" so there were not loops or REALLY cool stuff, but enough to really wow the crowd. They threw in the 'tail chase', mirror, slow pass, carousel and spag-break, but weren't able to do any loops. Was quite funny listening to some of the crowd actually thinking they were going to hit on the carousel and spag-break! This was their first show for the season and I thought they did exceptionally well considering the crappy weather (the wind was blowing around 20kmh at ground level).
