I was digging through a box of airplane stuff last night and came accross this picture from 1997. I cut out of the local news paper when I was living in Rotorua. I still like looking at it.  |

Yes I remember that day.
They were not permitted to do any dedicated flypast in formation, but went around doing circuts.
6 Orions in circut.
A few different paint schemes as well.

What was the occasion? 60th Anniversary of the RNZAF? Man, that's ten whole years ago now!  |

No, it was just prior to the first aircraft heading off for rewinging, someone worked out it would be some time again before all 6 Orions were in the one place and abel to fly.

A very rare occasion indeed seeing all six together. Has anyone out there got more photos of this event?
Would they have enough crews to do that today?
