A big attraction at this years event will be a static display of the Martin Jetpack. WOW should be a lot of fun!!! I have seen the Meteor looks good all painted up!

OO, sounds good, ill certainly try to be there!

I went to a fly in at Ashburton a couple of years ago, and you could freely walk around the aircraft parking area (sensibly of course), was great to get pictures of the aircraft!
