Sounds like it will be a nice day Ian....Ive been polishing the mustang all day.....so i guess she may be wheeled outside for some sun , on the day.
I'll be in touch, but Im happy to give you a lift if your going

Sound's like a good day out to me!

I'd love to go but will be stuck working in Auckland 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.

Great picture Gavin.

Does anyone know what time they will be displaying at Sumner? Edit: oo About 4pm

Another shot from yesterday.

Either real or Flightsim FS9 or FSX , it would the most photo,d /screen shot aircraft on the forum , Great shots Gav

Ill be there! Hope the weather holds out, been good seeing the Checkers buzzing around here the past few days anyhow

Was great to see them display at Coast To Coast today!

at the end they did a flyby right down the coast at 500ft:

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.
