On Saturday NZ Time the RNZAF is holding an air show to celebrate its 75th Anniversary.

Aircraft Going Include the RAAF's F-18A, The USAF's C-17, the recently restored Avro Anson, a TBM Avenger & the Hawker Hunter.

Every single type of RNZAF aircraft is going to be there including the new A109 LUH & the 757. The RNZAF's new NH90 is going to be on static display as well along with the Upgraded C-130 Hercules (LEP).

The Royal Australian Air Force will also have a strong presence with the C-17, C-130J & the B737 Wedgetail on static display.

I was wondering if any other Simv Members were going to be there.

I would love to be there Andy, but will not make it.

You have yourself a great time...

Anson = wow. Having seen the photos it's been restored very well indeed.

That's one thing new Zealand is good at, Aircraft restorations & replicas.

TVAL recently built replicas of the Snipe & D VIII down in Wellington.

Rugby too!

Don't forget those flightless birds with hairy feathers... well done, NZ.

There really is an excellent vintage aviation scene over there... just another reason I'd like to visit someday.

I went to the air show on Saturday, & it took five & a half hours to get to the air show. (It would normally take about 20 minutes to drive. )

I think the RNZAF expected 50 thousand people, there were 70 thousand people.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Will be looking forward to those pictures Andy...

I really wish I could've been there but it's a bit too far since I live in Auckland.
