Why has it gone to Ohakea?? Canopy is masked up, could be there for painting?

You have to give all involved a

It is indeed at Ohakea to be repainted. The paint shop at Ohakea is big enough to fit 4 skyhawks in. Porbably the only paintshop in the area big enough for aircraft repaints. A wee bit more of the controlled enviroment than painting outdoors in 'gods' paintshop.

I haven't seen a spitty in the flesh before either. Hopefully our bad luck ended this year

Just got an email from Brendon with links to a couple of videos of PV270. The first is TV3's coverage of the first flight, well done to them for following the project over the years...even if they do use the same old footage of Hawker Typhoons at one point! http://www.3news.co.nz/Video/National/tabi...ault.aspx#video

The second is the take-off and taxi-in of the first flight, here's a high definition version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnJP2B50La0

Can't wait for Classic Fighters!
