Just make sure if you are from Auckland that in any public area you have mask on and keep distance. This latest infection is 100% because some Auckland family didn't obey he rules. quite easy, stay at home!!!!!!

The reality is that everyone must obey the applicable rules regardless of where they are located. Human nature in some people however sadly dictates something else. |

So true, but the past month the only area not following the rules are from Auckland. Look at the southern motorway now, everyone heading for their holiday homes/ selfish and stupid.

I haven't looked at my photos yet to see if I captured the amount of smoke the B-52 PS out, but here is a video from a Twitter contact
@nzlainey: Here you go ... it was pretty amazing and the crowd was awestruck at the size of this aircraft. If you are a plane geek like me, it was very very cool.

The curse of the BUFF is broken!! The curse of Sundays at Wings Over Wairarapa though appears to be going quite well unfortunately |

Speaking of the B-52, the US Embassy has kindly put up the flight plan: Which they evidently changed  Sucks for the many people in Wellington and the Hutt who turned out to see it though. |

I'm glad you made it Errol, no doubt we'll find each other as always! I lone rangered it today and found a good spot at the NZDF end of the line and wound up pretty much camping there, so apologies for not wandering around enough to run into anyone! Pics to come Was also planning to bring one of my kids tomorrow but that looks off now. |

I had a fantastic day, I somehow managed to not meet up with anyone I intended to though! But I did see most at a distance or in the air.
Pics are transferring from camera to laptop but will post tomorrow as I’m knackered.
I feel so awful for everyone who’d been planning to attend tomorrow’s show. Even without the foreign aircraft the flying programme was fantastic.

I am just so sorry for Jenny and the entire team. I found out last night that the restrictions had been put in place. Like them so gutted. The day was perfect from what I heard and a tribute to all involved. Today would have been the icing on the cake.

I was debriefing with my parents when the COVID alert came through - the team put on such a fantastic event yesterday that I expected today to really go off. Terrible news. To help lighten things somewhat I'd like to share some of my photos from yesterday.

Thanks Zac!! Glad you lucked-out, especially considering you changed your tickets! I missed out, having flown up from Christchurch, rented a car and driven over on Friday morning...
I'm holding my breath for Omaka.

Zac, brilliant ! Many thanks for posting especially after what has occurred. So sorry for all those who had planned to attend on Sunday. Looks clear that you had a better BUFF flypast than we did for the RAAF show in WA a few years ago !

Did Brian Hall's T28 make it up there? I was sure it was planned to participate.
