Strikemaster NZ6370 coming home!

[strikemaster]

Any pics? That would be neat to see. RNZAF with jet trainers, who would have thunk it.

Saw 6370 in the circuit at WP yesterday.. what a great sight after all these years. She still looks very good and sounds healthy Unfortunately I was without camera, so no shots from me but I have a nice memory one. Maybe we will see a little more of that in the future?

Cheers,

Hi All - went over to WP again this arvo and did some more circuits at WP. The Tower was really helpful and the runway is nice and long........fantastic fun......just wild! Still I have a way to go but am making progress - 250kts up the harbour after a few circuits at WP is a great way to end the day.

Great stuff. I'll bet the guys and girls at Whenuapai are loving your visits.

I was enjoying a coffee at Ardmore Cafe when I spotted the Strikemaster being towed out so finished and headed over to Flightline for some pics.











Great to see you in action Brett and Andrew!

For such a lovely day I was surprised to see so many aircraft still on the ground must be the economic downturn?

Cheers

Wow Colin, those shots are absolutely great. I love the in-flight shots. Well done mate.

[agalbraith]

She's a smart looking bird thats for sure and was great to see her at Omaka. Thanks for bringing her back to NZ, quite a treat!

Cheers

Hi All - if you check out my facebook page, strikemaster club, there is a link to some cockpit footage of some very average flying by me going from AR to WP and a touch and go at WP. It just gives you a feel of what the a/c is like to fly. Or go to youtube look under Andrew Hope page, Citabria70, and the strikemaster footage is there. Cheers

[strikemaster]

Gotta see that..... of to FB I go.

....and fantastic. Great to see the old girl in action.
