Teresa and I are there all three days again and it's always a winner for us and being able to catch up with friends (and hide from people who want to know if the Auster is finished yet!). I must try and have a better look round the trade stands etc this year, plus restoration row is always interesting. We do appreciate the effort the CF team put into making this show happen and will always support it.

You should bring a cardboard box or two of bits for Restoration Row, Baz  Then if someone asks about the Auster, tell them to go see it in the big hangar |

It will be another fantastic specticle I'm sure. Always has a few surprises. My favourite show, the friendliest in NZ.

I'll be there for the first time on all three days. It looks like a good show for photography I'd also like to try and catch/meet up with a few people here for a chat. I'll be bringing a tame Australian, he looks and acts a bit strange but is harmless  |

Paul's an Aircraft engineer who went up and did a few weeks work for JEM Aviation at Omaka is now working for Airbus (what was Safe Air) and is overhauling both Anthony's and mine. |

Although I cant talk too much, I am still a wee way off finishing my Auster too. I cant wait for CF19, agreed it's the friendliest show around and my favorite. Great to catch up with old acquaintances and drink several pint's at the club, such a highlight are the people. It usually leaves me sick of seeing aeroplanes, but always in a good way LOL. Me for one am super excited to see the F-18's, which is saying something for a prop guy! |

If you see anyone with an Auster hat that might be me or Anthony Galbraith. Also hats or T shirts showing the Forum emblem (Outline of New Zealand combined with an RNZAF roundel style Kiwi.) |

By the way, almost everyone who will be at the MAC bar after each day will likely be forum members. Virtually everyone in NZ aviation is here on the forum (and that is not meant to sound like a boast, it's just a reality). |
