Hi all, Gert's Bleriot and practice in Morris Tull's Pitts S1S for my solo, a bit of a reenactment of Pam Colling's 4min free style, in keeping with the theme of the show. Looking forward to your display Andy. I understand you weren't keen to fly Gert's Bleriot to Omaka? Something about the lack of inflight entertainment?  |

Hornets due at Ohakea for customs shortly apparently. Plonky and PV270 have arrived, Yak-3 and P-40 have practiced, ZK-XIV had a photo flight.

ZK-DAK rumbled overhead on finals to NZWU for fuel not long ago.
Isn't the Classic Wings Fairchild looking great? Much more advanced than I expected. And it's great to see both local 1:1 Nieuports in flying trim.

If that was DAK then I think AWP would be in the area too about the same time as I know it left Mangere after 9am and was calling into NZWU to refuel. |

Yes, AWP landed shortly after DAK. PBY went to Woodbourne I think?

No, I was 10:45 or so, thanks for checking. I think I have better shots of Bill on my real camera, but this is off my phone  We all had a moment earlier when the FW-190 was towed past with its cowls open. Fortunately Graham reassured us that some exhaust cracking had been spotted, and it was just on its way to JEM for a quick fix. |

I was so relieved to see photos from Errol and others showing clear skies. I trust all are having fun? Did the Polikarpov make it?
And to be honest, I assumed it was DAK - not sure why, I plum forgot about AWP even though she's in and out of here often.

The Polikarpov flew for the first time yesterday I believe. So unlikely to display.
