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.

Read more about it here. http://www.airforce.mil.nz/operations/whats-on/75th-anniversary/air-show-informa...

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

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.

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. Shocked

)

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

I'll post some pics tomorrow. Wink

The Anson wasn’t there unfortunately.

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