Some off the dramatic shots when in the early 90s during many exercises ,90% off the time they would wheel in over the city preparing to buzz Wigram before break and land .

There were 2x Airtrainers and 1x C130 at NZWN today but I'm not certain the C130 was one of ours looking at those photos- she had grey painted props rather than the white. Too hard to read the wording or see the roundel from that angle though. Looked a lot like ours but not certain.
