WONZ Show What Ifs

[Dave Homewood]

Just for fun - Which people from the long history of New Zealand aviaiton who are sadly no longer with us would you have liked to have heard intrviewed on the Wings Over New Zealand Show?

I'll kick off a few kiwi aviators who I'd have loved to have sat down with and recorded a friendly interview with about their specialist aviation topic and experiences:

Ray Hanna (world renowned display and film pilot)
Michael Herrick (WWII ace)
Stuart Tantrum (aircraft restorer, nice guy when I met him)
Richard Pearse (NZ's first homebuilder)
Edgar Kain (WWII's first ace)
Jean Batten (long distance flyer)
Mort Vanderpump (WWII fighter pilot)
Jesse de Willimoff (WWII and postwar fighter pilot)
and many more...

Who would you pick?
