Wings Over New Zealand Show 267 is now online. In this episode of the WONZ Show, Dave Homewood talks with well known Warbirds pilot Brett Emeny. Coming from a family of pilots, his father Cliff flew in the Air Force during WWII as an Air Gunner, then a Navigator and then as a Pilot. Brett’s brothers are all in aviation, Craig owns Air Chathams, John is an ag pilot and Derek is aviation accident assessor. Brett’s daughter Faye is also a pilot. Brett discusses his journey into aviation and the various Warbird aircraft he is involved with, from the Catalina ZK-PBY which he flies and maintains, to the Yak 52 team, to the T-28 Trojan, and most importantly for Vampire Month, his two-seat de Havilland DH115 Vampire Mk. 55, ZK-RVM. Note: Unfortunately the evening that we recorded this interview the Zoom connection was not quite as clear as it should have been, so apologies in advance for the audio quality. cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZShow/2022/11/wonz-267-vampire-month-brett-emeny/

Doesn't Craig own Air Chathams and Duane is his son?

The Catalina mentioned above is ZK-PBY, not ZK-CAT (a Grumman AgCat).
