Wouldn't it be 'nice' if a C-17 broke and there were still a couple of Blackhawks in town for NZ Warbirds Open Day? |

Is that a "snakeye"? Looked like it in the footage.

Yes.
Mk.82 repurposed for maritime role(depth bomb). Looks like they might need to re calibrate the chalk marks on the windscreen.

Maybe they are working on the 'Whatever you hit is the target' style of bombing...

Went past Whenuapai at about 1200 today and a USAF C17 was there with two Blackhawks unloaded. Errol, where's your camera?

Fairly certain a Blackhawk circled the house at a nice altitude about 15 minutes ago (central Auckland).

Drove past Whenuapai earlier and the three Blackhawks were there. Does anyone know when they're leaving? I assume a C-17 will be back to get them?
