Fieldair Reunion

[mstokes]

Thankyou very much to Graeme, Tony and Neville for the wonderful weekend they organised. Everything went brilliantly and the air display was wonderful. I have a few pictures I am putting up, however I am sure there will be many more to come (probably of a more professional level as well). It was magic to hear the Beavers and Tiger purring along, it certainly made history (and Gisborne!) come alive. Thankyou again to everyone involved.

Fantastic! If it wasn't for having moved the weekend before I'd love to have been there! Love your shots Mike, just like being there!

[Peter Lewis]

Great occasion, right weather too.

So the four Beavers would be:
The recently returned ZK-AZB
Jim Frogley's ZK-BBX from Havelock North
ZK-CKH from Ardmore
Venture Aviation's Taupo-based ZK-FPZ

Here are a few of my photos to add to the pile

Awesome photos guys!

[Dave Homewood]

What the heck is that ZK-XLA? Is that a Pacific Aerospace product? It looks like a PAC750XL but seems to have Falco 3000XL on the side? Is this a new model of the 750XL?

[zman280]

The Falcon3000 is basically a topdressing version of the 750XL.

We had both the 750XL and the Falcon3000 XL there.

Here are few short video of the displys

What a fantastic day out with great weather, well done to Graeme and the team.

On our way to Gisborne there was an R44 working about 4 Km north of Matawai and 40 Km south of Matawai there was a Cresco working. A welcome bonus on our trip.







At Gisborne:





















Thats all for now as we are off to Christchurch for a few days. Next week I will have some more.

What's the engine installed in the Falco3000?

[Dave Homewood]

Marvellous photos!

[Kereru]

Some answers here?

Why have they changed its designation to P-750 Xstol? Marketing ploy?

Cheers

[ZacYates]

It is interesting to see that they have finally adopted a Cresco-style cowl!

It was a great day out, well done to Graeme and the team.
We flew with 9 of the aircraft on show.
Meant we didn't see much of the display flying as we did not want to have the turbines do extra starts just for a few photo's so we cricled around waiting for the subjects.

Thanks also to Hallet and the rest of the Beaver drivers, was great to fly alongside four Beaver's, we could hear them quite clearly!!!

I saw some of Marks footage yesterday from Beaver FPZ, awesome to see 3 Beavers from his position with some rather close flying. Can't wait to get home and look through my stuff. Thanks for making the effort Gavin and I'll be in touch. Graeme.

[kiwibeavers]

Forgot to mention Mark has over 1Tb of broadcast film so will end up being 4 DVD's by the looks.

Well Graeme, it looks like all the blood, sweat and tears were worth it in the end. ;D

Well done.

What a great collection of aircraft - just about covering all the developments in topdressing in NZ over the past 50 years.

Great photos everyone; thanks for sharing them.
