I've always liked the Whenuapai shows. They're friendly, informal and not so huge that you spend 4hrs in a traffic jam afterwards. There's always some amazing flying displays - and it's great just to stooge about the hangars. I live a few miles away, so have no excuse. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the base commander gets to fly that toy for fun. He did quite a few "practices" the week before the display - some of which looked even hairier! Nice to see where our taxpayers' money is going
I hope the Nats don't scrub this sort of fun.

March 3rd 2007, met Alex, Charl and Naki up there for the first time last year.
I believe the RNZAF open day is an annual event, that switches between Whenuapai and Ohakea each year, as a bit of a recruitment drive, so hopefully it will be back in Auckland early 2009.

Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 3:48 pmI'm always amazed how quiet it is - compared to the old ear-splitting 727s. (although to be honest I prefer the noise - not sure my audiologist would agree though!)
