I saw these (including DAK) passing over Hamilton. Hamilton seems to get a reasonable amount of Air Force movements. Great shots. Just wish I had my camera :-)

There was an Iroquois operating out of the M200 range just south of Ardmore for most of today. It briefly stopped by the field at about 4PM before heading off to, I presume, Whenuapai.

Just Happy they stop for gas as that will probably end once the a109s and nh90s are in service - will probably be waving at the little dot in the sky that is a seaprite at present - going north and south - the only time they come down low over here is if they doing circuits out at the airport and thats only happened twice back in Jan this year.

may also be of interest:

not relevent to thread but may also be of interest?
