C17 have just flown over city and turned in direction of NZWP, so maybe he was in NZAA just for quarantine/custom/swine flu check

Just seen pics on the Wings over Cambridge site - the CAF C-17 was here to pick up the Kittyhawk that recently flew for the first time at Ardmore.

Hmm... I knew about Tom Cruise. After some research I don't think he ever has owned one. I just remember coming across a picture with John Travolta flying in one, may have been a passenger I suppose.



JT use to own a Vampire ..dont think he has it now due to protests from the wife I think biggrin.gif ..I believe he also owns a Gulstream.

There are (watch?) ads of him standing in front of Mustang ..but that doesnt mean he owns it.

On the subject of novel aircraft at NZAA- as reported on the mrcaviation blog, a Canadian C17 arrived last night, (as well as a US C17 from Hawaii to Wellington just now)- whats the story with use of civilian airports for these guys rather than Whenuapai/Ohakea?


I've been trying to get a pic of the USAF one in Wellington but haven't had much luck with my duties yet. Wellington is used over Ohakea, I'm guessing, because they usually come to defence HQ here. I've got pics of USAF BBJs and G-IV/Vs here too. Also a US Coast Guard Gulfstream somewhere.
