I'm really not a great fan of Auckland, but one of the pleasures of being on the N. Shore is that I get to see a lot of the Whenuapai aircraft a lot. I'll never tire of the Herc, but the Orions and 757 are a real treat as well.
My plan is that the base gets shared with some aircraft restoration companies so I get to see Mosquitos, Spits ... [sigh] ...
