Hey fellas,

sorry for the hiatus. Been having a few compy troubles again, plus i dont really know my password for Simv anymore so i'm trying to stay logged in as much as possible.

So who is going to Wanaka for the Airshow over Easter? I'm flying over from Perth next week for a holiday in NZ with the main focus on Wanaka.  Got a 3 day gold pass and am really looking forward to seeing the wing walking and the Zero.

Hi Glenn...

If you can will you post some shots of the Zero and whatever info you have on it.

I am not sure how many actual Zero Aircraft there are still airworthy in the world.

Would love to go but no chance this year. I think Leigh mentioned he was going this year? Either way make sure get you get a ton of pics. 8-)

What are your flight plans, can I assume you'll have a stopover in SSY?

well i'm flying direct from perth to Auckland on this litte baby


leaving at 1750 and arriving at 0510, then training bussing and ferrying during hte next two weeks to wanaka.

And as for the quantity of photos? i dont think that will be a problem. I took 7112 at the Avalon Airshow Last year, andwas only let down by the battery getting low :-P.

I'm stoked to be seeing a real Zero. Can't wait, the hornets are an added bonus, plus the wing walking???? I'll be in drooling heaven :-P

That shot was taken as he was 1km from my house. Sun was setting off the tail as well

i was planing on going

but it didnt work out the way i wanted it to so im staying home
