Not a great deal from the looks of it. It arrives about 0900 and departs just after lunch????

I was going to bring the fly program home but left it at work. If i remember tomorrow i will email it home and try and throw it up here.

It does sound quite good. I am hoping to get up there for the show.
Looks like a few are going up. Anyone interested in a meet up?

The Aero.org.nz team will be there - Looks like it's shaping up to be a good show - provided the weather behaves...

Catch you there!

They've said that there would be a C17 before and it hasn't shown (in previous shows). I'd be glad if it was present but I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

Crowd centre is just south of the control tower, in front of the VIP area on top of the old art deco style building right on the flightline.
C-17 landed about an hour ago after a buzz'n'break landing.

Additionally:
On the subject of the air show, United States Air Force Boeing C17 Globemaster, callsign POGO 97, arrived at Whenuapai from points north just on sunset. It will be a major draw card for the show on Saturday.

and the Hornets arrived just after 7pm tonight, was standing in the kitchen when the thunderous sound of 4 GE F404's flew low over Beach Haven from the South to join the circuit at whenuapai . Wonder what the moaning WAG's 'll make of all the noise and flying activity
