Don't know if this will actually happen due the wonderful weather today but anyway.

Pacific Blue Readies To Take Off From Hamilton

The flight will leave Auckland at 3.45pm and conduct a low-level fly over of Tauranga and Hamilton before landing at Hamilton Airport to a water arch welcome at 4.45pm. The airline said the fly overs were a special event and a unique way of saying thank you to the people of Waikato and the Bay of Plenty who have been supporting the new international services since they were announced in June

A little more info / times on the proposed flyovers - ?? if they will actually happen the weather is still pretty crud.
This afternoon’s repositioning flight from Auckland sees the Pacific Blue aircraft take a slightly longer route by flying over Tauranga city around 4pm, before landing in Hamilton about 4.30pm.

“The fly-over brings the Pacific Blue brand to the people of the region. While they can’t touch it, they can see and hear that the new 737-800 is here.â€￾
