hey everyone

i got flying schedule today for the warriors @ wigram show

tomorrow (friday) the rnzaf 757 will be doing practice display at 12.30 at wigram

and on saturday the rest of the aircraft do a practice display at 11.00 and at 5.00pm the red checkers are doing a display at sumner

and then on sunday the flying displays is between 11.00 and 12.00

That was awsome :D

although the 767 is mans most briliant creation the 757 is prety close to it, first fly over it must have had about flaps 20 gear down and was all of 20ft above the rwy before throteling up, pitching about 30 degress and banking to the east After two of them there was high speed fly overs, sooo awsome.

The C130 also did superb fly overs, those noisy little single prop aircraft doing formation were rather neat as well (what type of aircraft are they?) The C130 landed on rwy 03 them used reverse thrust to reverse all the way back to the threshold for t/o again! I was suprised how quickly it moved.

757 was just the best thow, hearing those engins powering up, also I saw it on friday fly over hagley park, with almost 90 degress of bank, imagine how much rudder would be required for that monuver so low!

Thanks for the information hamish, that was the first airshow iv ever been to, and it was great

noisy little single prop aircraft

Airtrainers?

I don't know, I think they may be called "the red chekers" I have heard it before but don't know what manafacturer makes them and what type they are, but whatever they are they needa do somethign about that smoke trailing from the fusealarge

hey james those single prop aircraft are ct4e airtrainers the red checkers is the name of there aerobatic group or team and sorry i gotta dis agree with you the c130 did best display i was standing at end of vickerys rd close to the runway and herc came in for low pass with back door down and when he when past you could see the load masters in white uniforms waveing lol and c130 also did awsome beat ups and the 757 would have to be second he should have done faster and lower beat ups but i filmed all off it i just gotta put on to dvd and get it edited and then it will be ready for people who want it

oh james on the friday when 757 did practice display he finished displaying and then he flew out to selwyn and then came back for another display and i found out today why that was the co pilot could'nt handle the angles that the 757 was pulling up and banking round on and he was getting sick so they flew out to selwyn to flaten out abit lol i also filmed the display in hagley park when hercules flew over and drop the kiwi blue parachute team and the seasprite and iroqouis flew in together to pick them up yesterday on saturday and james did you see both displays today there was flying display at 11.00 am and 2.00pm the rest of the show was pretty boring and the mock battle at the end was'nt very good

So it wasn't such a good day Hamish? I didn't make it.. my instructing session finished late.

yeah it was a good day the flying display was good but everything else i found was boring like the unimog tow and unimog camuflague competition and obstacle course and mock battle , the iroqouis took part in the mock battle it flew in once to drop off troops and it took like 5mins to unload all off them lol and at the end when it looked as if it had finished the herc came in and did a high speed past and then banked around and landed and taxied in fast with back door down and then the troops all ran on to the herc and then the herc taxied out fast and then took off and landed at nzch the end lol
