I'd love to go but will be stuck working in Auckland dry.gif I spent about a year posted to Wigram in the early 90's and was in the parade for the Base closure. I took a drive through there not so long ago and was dismayed at how much had changed!

Was going to head down on Sunday but unable to now.
Flew alongside the Checkers today as they headed south, always a fantastic experience and special thanks to the RNZAF for making the flight possible.

Are they bringing the RNZAF Boeing 757 to the show? I saw it flying in, with a huge crosswind (which is amazing considering it was dead still on the ground) crabbing into NZCH last night.
