Great Photos so far. Couldn't be there, the yacht looked more favourable considering the WX... one day verses three....  |

It was a really great day! I was stoked to see the Venom flying too  Did anyone see the Stearman's wing get damaged at the very end of the day? It looked like it might have almost ground looped and there was some grass stuck on the wing tip. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad. |

Didn't see a reg number sorry. It was blue/yellow and one (of 2) of the ones that did the final fly by at the end of the day.
Pilot was fine and thats the important thing!

So what I need is the names of the pilots in the:
- two Birddogs
- Ryan PT12
- Chipmunk
- Piper Super Cub
- Airtrainer
- Boeing-Stearman Kaydets (I think one was Woodsie, wasn't it? He was flying "77" earlier in the day)
- The Harvards during the aerial attack
- The three Tiger Moths
- The rides pilots for the Fox Moth and Beaver
Also did the two Stearmen go up again at the end? I do not recall seeing them.
lastly, have I missed any aircraft that flew or were on the display flightline?

You mean ZK-WKA, the yellow Auckland Seaplanes Beaver? Was she taking rides or just going about her business? She wasn't listed on the Warbirds rides options, but maybe she was taking punters up separately??   |

Yes they were trying to sell rides. They had a table and signage set up round the southeast corner of the hangar next to the aircraft. I overheard them saying they were struggling to fill it for a splash and go ride, but later they moved their table up to near the Catalina.  |

From memory one of the Kaydets in the morning was Frank Parker. I do remember at least one flying again at the end of the day, they seemed to take off, fly by and come back.
My money's on Ace Edwards flying Harvard 98/ZK-ENJ in the attack, he mentioned as much to Damon earlier when we were wandering around. I didn't see a passenger when he took off but a couple of the other Harvards did have passengers.
It'd be nice to know who flew the Texan II, I really enjoyed that display! Hopefully someone here knows the Warbirds commentator as I remember him explaining who each pilot was, however I didn't pay too much attention and by the final display I was out of earshot.
The Fox Moth was ZK-APT, and the radial Ryan ZK-RYN is a PT-22. The Warbirds Aermacchi was also on static display, next to the Skyhawk and behind the RC models but I'm unsure of its serial.
The other, very busy rides aircraft (which doesn't show on your very complete list) was Robinson R44 ZK-HSU of Ardmore Helicopters.
