High flying daredevils
It's pretty risky, not to mention dramatic. But the pilots of the Air Force's Red Checkers aerobatic team love their jobs. Joanna Davies reports from the sky above Auckland.

Sponsored by Pub Charity
Watch the skies over the City and foreshore as our visiting aircraft swoop and turn in the blue sky. Flying displays with the RNZAF Red Checkers, the Warbirds Display Team and others. These are not to be missed! If the weather is nice why not have a picnic on the lawns while you enjoy the displays.
Fri 18 from 7.45pm - best view from the Sound Shell.
Sat 19 from 12.15pm - Above Emerson St.
Sun 20 from 2pm - over Marine Parade and the Gatsby Picnic.
