The ASB Nightglow at Waikato University

The University of Waikato

6.00pm-6.15pm: The Red Checkers

The current Red Checkers team is made up of 5 senior instructors from the RNZAF’s Central Flying School and Pilot Training Squadron. They fly the highly manoeuvrable New Zealand built CT4-E Air trainer and perform a wide range of formation and solo aerobatics. The team’s history can be traced back to the late 1940’s in Wigram, but they have been flying under the Red Checkers name since 1967.

Aerial display from Red Checkers
An aerobatic display will see the Red Checkers take to Tauranga skies on Tuesday to showcase the team’s flying skills.
It will be performing a formation flying display around the Tauranga waterfront at 5.30pm, weather permitting

Wicked shots Ham. Saw them motoring along the skyline this evening, heard them first, thought it was an unusual sound.
