Ok have been to Wanaka and I gotta say it was FANTASTIC
I have not heard about a GENUINE Zero, but if that is the case WOW

Last time, it was a REAL P-40 firing REAL guns - but using 'blanks' so no projectile - and that was very very nice.....They even sold some of the recovered cartridge cases later for some dosh!!
And the Corsair......and the Mustang......and all the other VERY nice aeroplanes.....
But.....the coupe de grace was ....IMHO.....the good ole' F-111 at Mach .9 at 300ft (or so) straight over the top.......I took notice!!
And, I'll be doin' it agin this Easter.....
Anybody for a beer or two???

I'm heading down, flying in to dunedin on the 30th then driving. Trying to arrange a flight in Queenstown on the way for a bit of a look around for the NZ based driver and myself.
should be a most excellent weekend and i think a pprune beer or 3 would be a good idea

Sadly, there will be no WWI presence there as the Omaka and Masterton collection will not be appearing. We also hear that the Corsair and P40 may not be appearing either?

I'll be there, can't wait, been trying to make it for 10 years. I'll be at Melton next week as a bit of a warm up and over to Tyabb later in April as a chaser.
'tis the season!!

YEP...
Last ime after the show, we were back 'in town' having a 'quiet one' by the lake, when THAT familiar P&W sound became louder, and there was the 'Cat' on a downwind leg for a landing on the lake...came in right over us on 'final', did a touch and go on the water, and climbed off into the 'dustance', the sound slowly fading into the mountains......LUVLY!!
