EXTRA ANZAC DAY FLYPAST ADDED
The Air Force Heritage Flight of New Zealand are excited to announce an additional flypast program for this coming Anzac Day, Tuesday 25 April.
To be conducted by our Harvard NZ1037, this flypast will complement that of the Spitfire and Beechcraft T-6C Texan IIs detailed elsewhere on this page.
The Harvard is the critical enabling aircraft type in our fleet, as it is through use of the more readily available Harvard hours that our Avenger and Spitfire pilots can maintain their proficiency. The Harvard was designed to train World War II fighter pilots, and it remains the preferred choice for this task today; it is not referred to as "The pilot maker" for nothing!
Please note that the event is highly weather dependant, however rest assured that we will do all that we can to achieve the flypasts as listed. Note also that the flypasts will be conducted in accordance with Civil Aviation Rules and will therefore be no lower than 1000 feet above the ground. Whilst the Harvard will not be low nor fast, we hope that you enjoy its undeniable presence and character!
Those that wish to follow our progress with flight tracking software will find us as HVD37
